  1. can you put a Dura Ace bb/crankset on a bike running a Chorus
    drivetrain? Do the outgoard bearings change the chainline significantly?

    Nope, not hardly at all. ERGO is completely compatible with this and just about
    every other crank/BB/front der combo.

    If ya got to have larger bearings and ya gotta have a thinner BB spindle, I
    think the 'headset' style of BB, now offered by shimano, FSA, and others is a
    good idea BUT

    Still nuthin wrong with a square taper in terms of long life, stiffness,
    bearing size, etc, if installed and maintained correctly.
