• Cool thanks. It looks like the person who previously used the cranks was running it on the inner ring. I might install the arms on the current bb and measure how far they need to come out to not hit the frame as well to be sure that a 4mm increase from what I have now. I might just end up giving up on them and say they aren't compatible with the hub spacing.

  • Yes that would work too: just make sure they are all the way on and not being fouled by the BB cup.

    I have a 107mm Shimano UN-55 going spare: just a few TT miles. Send me a PM if you want it.

  • I found the model number of the crank set its FC-A500. I only have the inner ring on it 42t.

    I found on the Sheldon Brown site

    Model BB Chainline BCD
    Exage 500X A500 Double 113 Square 43.5 130 7-speed 1990-92

    Im guessing the chainline given is for between the 2 chainrings? Or would that be for the big ring?

    If so with a 113 would I get 42mm chainline to meet my hub. Would I be working this out correctly??
