  • right, so the DA roads are an option really then?

    according to sheldon brown a typical road double gives 41mm for the inner and 46mm for the outer. if track chainline is generally 42mm i would need a bb with a spindle 8mm shorter than that i would need with track cranks. what is the standard bb spindle length for track, or does it vary dependent on the track cranks used?

    Looks like a lot of people use 107mm: http://www.londonfgss.com/thread3372-4.html

    So er...a 99mm BB?....... :S

    Edit, just had a thought. It'll be a JIS cranks, so installing on a ISO taper BB spindle will mean it'll sit further in. According to Sheldon 4.5mm further in.
