Wow, what a bunch of different answers.
In this case, I like gizmonds answer & illustrations best.
Im going to believe that is accurate for now, as it means I dont have to do anything!
Plus Id be running a flip flop in any case, so it wouldnt make sense to dish it one way.
I take it, "crimping" means bending the stays/dropouts?
Id like to avoid that at all costs, as the reason I dont have a bike is because I snapped the chainstay dropout.
Im planning to buy the correct BB, I expect itll have to be the smallest one available.
