  • Most modern BB's are adjustable, so you cn screw one cup in slightly further than the other which gives you a bit of room for error.

    not really. only the miche (which is a bit shit) and the Phil and maybe one or 2 more are adjustable. and besides its not good to de-center your cranks for obvious reasons. although i spose you could, but its fucking annoying having one leg powering at a different angle to the other at the cranks. Wonky.

    get the cranks you want, whatever they may be.
    fit them to any old BB with a known length,
    measure the chainline up front,
    and measure the chainline at back,
    work out the disparity between chainlines
    then multiply this dissparity by 2 and add this number to the BB spindle length you have.
    This is the length of the BB you need.

    done
