I'm wondering why is it that a 42mm chainline is considered 'better' for a track style (120mm spaced) fixed bike?
It seems to me that a 46mm chainline would be better because it allows for an undished (stronger? better looking?) rear wheel.
Or am I just stupid? Am I about to do something very wrong with my (first) build.
thanks!
