Ooh, that's good. I want to be like Graeme Obree - just without the suicide attempts and manic depression. :-) Seriously, that's a good idea, though. I'll measure the chainline from the outside of the spider and see if it's viable.
I'm resolved to change it now, so I'll make a trip to my not-so-local bike shop when I get a chance. If I'm lucky enough to get free BB removal and measuring, I'll maybe buy the tools to put the replacement back myself. You can only measure spindle length when the BB is in your hand and out of the bike, right?
