If the Mighty is similar enough to a Suntour Superbe (144bcd), the 115mm is likely best. I used the 111mm first. The arms and rings cleared the frame ok (steel, minor crimping, 126mm OLD), but the Q was too low for me; @132-4mm, if I remember. Chainline also too narrow. The 115mm is near perfect for the drivetrain (std six). Still a little on the narrow side. I may space the pedals out a touch, since my wide 13's push the straps against the arms.
