Hey,
So I just bought myself a PC frameset since I'm building a new bike. Unfortunately I've run in to some problems with my chainline and I've tried to read as much as I can about it without coming to a solution. I'm running the PC with a Miche Primato 107mm BB and a Miche Primato Advanced crankset, the rear wheel is a Halo Aero Track with the a fixed sprocket and lockring on it. According to my meassurements the chain is approx. 6mm off and it's making a hell of a sound (See video link: http://www.triphys.com/lfgss/chainline.mp4). I read somewhere that the bottom bracket is supposed to be adjustable but this one has one fixed cup and I can't see how I can possibly get it closer to the frame on the driveside. I also had an idea about putting spacers before the sprocket to push it out more but I can probably only gain a maximum of 1-2mm since there are no more threads. I was also thinking of putting spacers on the wheel hinges just to get it out more but I'm guessing that I need to redish the wheel for that to be a viable option?
So is there anything I haven't thought of that I could do? I have a difficulty seeing how others manage to get this working as I've seen the PC/Miche combo before (except for the wheel). Or is there maybe a specific sprocket/lockring I should go with?
