I have a 2002 BH comp. I checked out Specialized site and they state my bb size is 73 x 125mm. I am going to get a new one, but it seems the ones I look at (RaceFace Sig. DH 73 x 118or128 - Truvativ GigaPipe DH 73 x 118or128) don't make that size. I will be running a single ring w/ MRP. Do I get the 128 and make up the difference w/ spacers or what?

I'd get the 128 and just install it. Your chainline will only be off by 1.5mm. BigHits come with very good chainlines to start because the rear end is welded 6mm off center towards the drive side. This also gives them a no-dish rear wheel.
