Could do with a bit of advice here,

I have just aquired a Fuji track frame and need to replace the BB, plus i also need a new crankset as my old Raleigh is on those cottered pieces of shite. Now i need to do this on a small budget and am looking at the following crankset:

and a sealed cartridge Shimano BB:

Now i already have a SS conversion kit on a shimano freehub on the rear wheel - am i correct in assuming that as long as i get a BB spindle wide enough to allow fitment of the crankset then i can get my chainline by juggling the spacers around?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
