  • Some vandals got into our car park and trashed my hike and my girlfriend's. Her rear wheel is buggered, as are my cranks - they seem bent, or the BB is, and the chainring.

    It's a hybrid Genesis Smithfield with these cranks: http://www.driveline.com.tw/_en/product_detail.php?id=66

    It says 46mm chainline. Is there something mid-range nice I can replace it with? Maybe a SRAM road crankset with external BB that I can run as a single? It's a 42t and I'd like to keep close to that.

  • It says 46mm chainline

    It's 46mm with a 116mm BB. With any luck, Genesis put it together with a narrower axle to match the 42mm chainline of the Alfine hub. The 'correct' chainset with the Alfine is Shimano FC-S501.

  • Thanks Tester, you're a gent. I'll pick one up from Evans tomorrow and try to price match that website (worth a go...)
