Help for sourcing a suitable BB and Crank

Posted on
  • Hiya all,

    I have a Fixie Inc. Peacemaker frame with following specs:
    -135mm rear spacing
    -68mm BSA for BB
    -52mm chainline.

    I'm planning to buy Surly or Fixie Inc. 135mm rear hub which would give the needed 52mm for the rear...

    ...BUT...

    I'm having a hard time finding options for the BB + 1-speed crank combination that would produce a chainline of 52mm! I've read thru Sheldon's articles and his chart for chainlines with different combinations, but still can't find that many suitable options.

    Please advise some options => crank brand and model and the spindle length needed for a 52mm chainline? If possible please also quote where it could be purchased? My budget is approx 70 GBP or less...

    THANKS!

  • You sure it's 52mm?

    Sounds very wide....

    Don't forget when you're choosing cranks that most are intended to clear the chainstays of a bike with 120mm hub.

    The first batch of On-One track cranks were specced for 135 and were about 50 notes.

    Mail Brant at OO and ask him the score.

  • Better yet, mail Will at Hubjub. He sells that frame.
