I've been looking all over net and cant find anything. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Has there been a octalink v2 68-110mm made?

    Dont think so. I think 113 will be your best bet. 110 was only available in V1 roadie style IIRC

    the more I am thinking 113mm was the shortest

    Can run a 113 without ruining chainline can i ?

    no idea what chainline do they give? a few mm will not make much difference if they are 45-47mm with a 109mm axle.

    And it wont affect shifting? Maybe i could get someone clever to take off a couple mm of the axle. would that help?

    I bet you wont even notice the difference. Not all frames are even made to that level of tolerance. Its 113 across the whole axle, so only 2mm on each side.

    Yeah true, its my partners bike and she rarely gets up in the big ring and i am thinking i could add spacers/washers to chainrings. thanks for input.
