Hi,
Been building up a single speed beater for the winter out of old parts I have found up and was hoping to run a Hollowtech II Deore crankset. Put it on today with the chain ring fitted where the middle ring should be but the chain line is way out...out around 8mm when measured. So I was wondering can I space out the chain ring bolts but it occurred to me this might look a bit odd so spaced out. Or would this set up how it is now work or should I just get a new chainset and BB. BTW the shell measure 68mm and the rear spacing is 120mm.
Any help appreciated.
