The width of the chain stays measures 80mm on my frame, measured 92mm from the center of the bottom bracket, i.e. assuming a 44T chain ring. This 80mm is too much, based on the White Industries standards. What are my options?
If you want a straight chain line, given that the rear track hub has a 42mm chainline, I cannot use another length BB, can I?
Doesn’t this chain ring clearance issue apply to all other brands of hubs, cranks and chain rings as well? A 44T chain ring won’t fit my frame I want a 42mm chainline, will it?
I’m puzzled, is it really so that the frame (Brick Lane Bikes Track Frame 53cm) is incompatible with track hubs that have a 42mm chainline and chain rings that have 44T?
