I'm currently experimenting with a similar set up. I've not actually cobbled it together yet but I've spent far too much time and money on trying to get a DA road crankset to work on my fixed gear. From a quick eyeball, the chainline should be alright and hopefully fixable with spacers if it's not spot on. I'm hoping to get it all built up in the next few days so will report back!

Hi there,
I wonder if somebody can offer some advice, I'm putting together my first single-speed and recently picked up a used but clean Dura-Ace FC-7400 set of cranks + bottom bracket (but with no chain rings), the cranks are 165mm and 130BCD.
I don't think these are track cranks but were designed more for road use, despite that would these still be useable for a single speed? I'm guessing I'd need smaller bolts for the chainring and a 3/32" chain?
Or is it worth waiting/saving up for the track equivalent crankset (FC-7600)?
Any advice welcome :)
Aaron
