R,
I have Rohloff Thorn with a 73 mm bottom bracket shell, the axle length is 119 mm.

I suspect that would equate to a 68 mm bottom bracket shell and axle length of 114 mm for the RT.

Hopefully someone with a RT will come along soon and reveal all.
Julian.

Depends on what chainset you are using I think?
