  • Rear spacing is 130mm where the Langster is 120 so yeah will be wider.

    Fwiw I had a 111mm Campagnolo (ISO?) bb on there with Sugino 75s and a 47t chainring and it didn’t foul.

  • mmmmmmm i might try a 113 on there , thank you for your customer support

  • Secondary cabal has informed me, after suggesting that I dimple the chainstay and follow the manufacturer's specifications (how one balances both of these I don’t know) that yes, the wider chain stays might need a wider bb even if the crankset says a certain size and I should just be able to slap a longer axel on

    Might mess up the chain line tho

    But chain line is fake?

    Right?

  • But chain line is fake?

    I am also a believer of this, I do not understand why fixie people get mad over 1mm diff in chainline but would ride a bike with 1x

  • this is reasuring coming from a fellow bike preformance utilitarian like yourself

  • I have also used a non njs BB on a DA njs crank on my fixie, fuck the rules

    iirc 113mm UN55 where as recommended is 109mm JIS

  • Its fake, Unless it’s super off and you throw the chain.

  • yeah but it depends on the chain, no? 10+spd for your 1x, 7spd or 1/8" for your fixie? or am I just a sheep?

  • it's a 120 wheel in a 130 frame - we're looking at like 20mm or difference if i get the most snug bb i can

  • maybe i'm stupid but in my mind chainline is from wheel centre ? so a 107/109 bb should give you a regular chainline on a 120 wheel, no matter dropout width.

    I read that the chainring catches the chainstay so why not a centaur 111mm? or going further a UN 113 ?

  • i dont think i know how any of these numbers work

  • Get a framebuilder to chop out the chainstay and replace it with an e-stay.

  • Get a custom crank CNC'd.

    The Nature Boy All City were too sensible to consider.

  • Thank you again, they look great!

    In bb news @launchpadboi is overnighting me parts from south London

  • i think you need to ask yourself, can you live with an out of line chain now that you know?
    also, the silence from a perfect chainline is the purest joy.

  • tbf any noise to drown out persistant london noises would be apreciated

  • or are you just adding to the noise?

  • 😳

  • IMO chainline, toe overlap and skid patches are mathematical realities which have no interaction with the physical world as we experience it

  • to hear fixed jesus say these things, we're listening

  • We have cranks

    Will finish this today, inshallah
