• I think maybe changing hubs is the nicer option rather than hurting a poor innocent frame :(

    The hubs are worth more than the frame I'd imagine ;)

    Seriously though.

    • Buy some spacers + sprocket + lockring (the Surly one is good for reduced lockring thread)
    • See how much chainline adjustment your happy with (with enough lockring engagement).
    • If you've managed to push the chainline out to say 48mm or more, then its time to decide if you have the chainring/chainstay clearance you need.
    • If you think it'll work get the appropriate BB for your new chainline, ride, and enjoy.

    Theres nothing to loose except maybe a wasted BB purchase if the final chainstay clearance is'nt enough.
