  • One less tooth means about 2mm less radius, probably not enough. You can't move Omnomnoms to the right, at least not by much. You could face a bit off the NDS of the BB she'll and maybe shim between the axle step and the NDS bearing, but that's a lot of hassle for 1mm.

    Custom dished chain ring is obviously the way to go, should be no more than £300 if we bundle it in with my 56T VumaChrono special ☺

  • Technically they aren't Omnoms... they are the cheaper S100 1.1 cranks, and a power spline bottom bracket. I'm not even sure how possible it is to space out the power spline BB, but I'll have a look this evening.

    Custom dished chainring makes obvious sense on a bike that has so far cost a grand total of £140 including the cost of a couple of tools I was missing! :-)

  • Get a couple of 1mm bb spacers and try it out.

    Failing that, a custom Talbot could be the only sensible answer.

  • Technically they aren't Omnoms

    Doh! That should have been obvious from the use of 130mm PCD. Moving a Powerspline to the right is the same as moving a square taper/ISIS/Octalink cartridge BB- it works as long as there's room for the NDS crank to miss the other chainstay and enough thread the allow the NDS "cup" to thread further in than normal.
