I remember discussing with Grant the factors ... if my ever-fading memory  
doesn't fail me.
This is by no means the exclusive list, just a few cents to the pot.

1. Whether the rear chainstays flare (like the Atlantis which accepts 
wider tires) would call for more clearance and hence 118.  

2. If the rear chainstays are straighter, then size of the chainrings you 
plan to use factors in.  For instance 52-42-30, then the 113 might not 
clear the chainstay, whereas a 46-36-26 would.

I am setting up a Sugino XD crank with a Shimano UN73 bottom bracket.  
The Sugino specs say that a 113 or 118 spindle length will work.  What
would the difference be, and what are the reasons why I would choose
one size over another?

Thanks a bunch
