Goldtec / Profile / Paul, put the cog on the other way round?

Has anyone tried putting something like an EAI sproket on a goldtec, or similar wide chainline hub, the wrong way round?

My school boy calcs seem to make me think that minus the shoulder on the eai cog would take off the addition few mill? Will the chain run to close to the flange/spokes?

i'd put it on the right way round, if i was you.

no no no, risk running the chain onto the flange or onto spokes. easy to sort chainline with proper BB.

like last night dogs, with your chain between the cog & flange (great name for a pub there)

Cool, I don't have any of the above hubs, was thinking about building a second set of wheels, but set 1 have 42 chainline, and don't want to switch BB each time I switch wheels.

Are the Dia Compe Grand Compe thingys any good?

not bad hubs from what i've seen.

I have a gran compe front and it runs very nicely.

going over to Brixton Cycles this eve to get the rear for my new wheel build.

I have read on here these give a 42 mm chainline, but I'll confirm that with BC.

Cool, thanks, How much are they at brixton? Might give them a try.

just buy some pauls and some profiles ;) , then have 2 sets at wider.

2mm does it really matter that much?

not to my girlfriend, she's happy with 42 mm

It's actually about 4mm once you take the sproket into account, but yeah 2mm makes a rattly clicky catchy difference to me.

Cool, thanks, How much are they at brixton? Might give them a try.

£40 / £45 - front / rear
