Subfloor over I-joists

I don't know that I'd take that as Gospel. I'm not sure what the squash blocks will do for you: it seems to me that the major problem is the narrow subfloor board. I guess the SB's give the joists some more width to nail to.

What are you putting over the subfloor? If it's hardwood or something with an underlayment (e.g. sheet flooring), it seems to me that it would be OK but YMMV. If it's just carpet, I think I'd bite the bullet and make it two joists wide.
