Problems with lining up chain & crank

funny situation in here. he asked a noob question and got some rather friendly answers, refuses to respond to questions that where asked to figure it out and help him in more detail and he then complains a bit. *giggles man you got more useful answers then some other serious threads combined!

so here you go:

1. sheldon (learn it word by word and be able to cite it when asked by alders)
   
2. measure it yourself
   
3. identify type of your (drive side) crank
   
4. consider
   a. road bikes have wider spindles/chainlines
   b. track/ss go for 42mil +/-1mil
   c. different taper of the spindle and the cranks
   d. possible need for adapters
   
5. combine learned knowledge (< involves reading/understanding of red content) and figure your 'new' set up with the right combination of BB, spindle length, crank taper and rear hub chain line set up.
   
   

estimated study time for this BB/chainline 'lesson' in home study with aid of google, sheldon and a ruler is about an afternoon, that does not include sourcing parts or communication with mates or lady friends via mobile or web based services, nor does it respects time to fiddle with the 'right' itunes playlist for sound scape as these can vary by a huge margin.

you'll learn the terminology as you go along trying to figure it out. last thing is that you actually didn't need to join to gain the knowledge as it is all in here freely accessible... and out there, though having this thread here should have pointed you in the right direction(s) to finally figure it out and solve it. in which case you also might want to take pictures and let others know, what was so special about your mysterious BB and how you solved possible issues to make it an informative read for newbees, who's mates say, there's nothing on here besides...

then tell your mates to pull their lower lips over the back of their heads and make 'em swallow. these people here are the most helpful bunch and they restored my faith in humanity (Note: ignore lists are sometimes the tool of choice ;) given that one goes out and meets them at rides and drinks as this forum is about riding bikes and ... aah ... hmm stuff.

oh boy i got hot chilly curry for lunch *tzzzzz
