Is 1mm too tight a clearance between the chain stay and the crank arm?

I still dont reckon the cranks would bend inwards, only because of the 3/9 o' clock position that they're in. I love the shorter q-factor anyway.

hey, i nearly beat you in a race! no love for silver medalists!? ;)

I don't race. I think I told you, Paul, I'm a lover not a fighter.
