You need measurement a few things. Backend between the DOs is 120mm? Measure from inside of the DO to the centre of the sprocket/cog. So centre of backend based on 120mm is 60 and then minus the measurement from DO to cog poss 15 so you end up with chainline of 45mm. Now measure your seat tube width probably 28mm and then measure from from edge of seat tube to the centre of crank. If the crank is on the correct chainline it will be 31mm from 31mm. Does that make sense? Your basically taking everything back to the centre of bike.

Fixed chainline 42mm thqt is centre of seat tube to centre of chainring is 42mm. Dropout to cwntre of sprocket should be 18mm. Figure which oart is at fault and say sod it and change the bb to a 103mm and be done. with it

Miche bb's did have adjustable cups back in days when they where iso taper axles. As they are jis axles now they have gone to fixed cups.
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?
