Sigh... Here I am asking the same old questions on an ancient thread....
I've just built a bike, got a Miche rear hub (36.3mm chainline according to S.B.) and old Sugino Mighty Competition cranks with 46t chainring, it's on a 103mm BB and gives a lovely 43mm chainline running as close to the chainstays as I'd like. It all runs fine, there's no way the chain is going to come off, but to 'fix' this I'd need a concave chainring, a 98mm bb and some re-shaped chainstays.
Has anyone with a 68mm bb shell got a BB /combo for a 36.3mm chainline ? From Sheldon's list quite a lot of track hubs have this line (Dura-Ace, Campagnolo, Surly etc), but most of where people state actual chainline distance in the transmission db they have 44-46mm.
I am missing something? Should I move some spacers and re-dish the wheel with the hub off-centre? Or should I stop fussy and just enjoy riding my bike?
