Hi, i've UTFS and only come up with this one thread, so please don't rain on me if this is a much discussed or even dumb question.
have purchased Miche primato wide flange track hubs (32h) and this Sug Super maxy chainset, possibly in a wild bit of optimism that i could feel my way through to a decent chainline.
there's only one similar precedent in the TrannyBase, and that person used something esoteric for a BB (3SB (121.5mm asymmetric cup&cone) that looks like it might not be too easy to come by..
so my question is: what's the best way to pick the right BB that will magically turn this combo into a thing of linear beauty?
i kind of had my eye on the traditional BB from velosolo, but they've said it's really fiddly to get right and won't recommend it one way or the other. am after the more vintage cups if possible to go with a rather old school rotrax track frame.
so, if you've made it this far without losing the will, then i bet you've got a notion or two on the right BB for me.... in which case: grazzie
