Baffled by transmission

  • I've got some Gran Compe hubs; and want to get a set of sugino RDs for a new build.
    I've had a look through the transmission database, but cant seem to find a similar setup.
    What length / type of BB would i need to run RDs with the gran compe's 42mm chainline?
    I dunno what difference sprocket type makes; but I'll probably be getting DA as it seems sort of the standard.

    cheers in advance of any help...

  • Damn - I thought this was going to be a Joy Division thread.

  • It's a 103mm JIS. Sugino make them, amongst others.

    Once you've got it running, add it to the Database!

  • If you search for 'transmission', the only two threads that come up are yours and this one:

    scroll to the end, and there is a list of shit that works together.

    Sugino RD + Sugino/103 + Sys-X + Dura Ace = MA3K

  • BRM, you used the search function.

    You cunt!

  • Ok cool, so sugino BB it is. will i be confronted with threading questions if i go get one?
    I've got an old (probably 60's) holdsworth track frame: logic tells me that would be an english BB thread right?

    I can't keep up. :)

    +Straight over my head, pj.

  • kentucky warbler. apparently.

  • I read somewhere that RDs with the ring on the outside and a 103 BB give a 45mm chainline, you have to mount it on the inside to get it perfect.

  • Yeh, there seems to be mixed comments on wether the RD gives a 45mm (some have said it gives 42mm? I'm guessing by doing what you suggested?).
    Have people been using a similar setup without problems? I dont mind so much about it being less than silent... as long as it wont de-rail.

  • i run gran compe with sugino RD on a 103, i think

    its all good
