you can use a bb in the dropout as cheaper alternative to a 'standoff spacer'
Sounds sketchy, if the bb cracks your front wheel might end up locking up/jamming into the adapter.
I think a bb will be just as strong as those expensive spacers?
More likely that the fork dropouts would dent rather than the bb failing in that regard I think. The bb sounds very sketchy, ples don't.
