Just had a new rear wheel built on a Surly flip flop hub and asked the LBS to fit a new bottom bracket while they were at it and get the chainline right.
Having got the bike back I reckon that the chainline is out by about 5mm (chainwheel further into centre than rear sprocket). How critical is this? Should I take it back? If so, what are my options to get it right?
It's a good LBS who I've used for ages so I'm sure they'll sort it no problem; just want to go back armed with knowledge on best way to fix it.
Thanks very much for your help.
