The Hope bottom bracket arrived yesterday. This gave me a chance to check if the cranks with the 30T chainring clear the frame. Good news is the cranks do, bad news is the chainring does not (as you can tell by the damaged paint). I suppose I could go down to 28T. But that would limit my top end speed even more. So I am considering putting a dimple in the chain stay where it hits the chainring. With a bit of luck this may even give me space to fit a 32T. This seems like a setup that might work.
