Thanks! But my LBS guy is happy to do the technical stuff. I just had a chat with him and we discussed 107 over 110 BB spindles. He was worried about chain stay clearance which is a good point, esp as the steamroller's claim to FFF. The chain stays are likely to bounce out pretty early. But I argued that you, as an owner of both the same frame and crankset used 107.
The other thing he did point out is that as I'm using a freewheel, this is going to be considerable wider than a thin fixed cog, and that could throw the hub/chainline out by a good 2 to 3 mm? Where does that leave me I wonder. Maybe I should have the 110 spindle after all.
My head hurts...
Decided to add to my user dictionary "crankset' and "chain line" 'cause I'm sick of clicking on 'ignore spelling'!
