White Industries uses a splined interface for the cog. Thus, it may or may not be possible to add a spacer.
A very general observation on chain ring clearance: shouldn’t the distance between the chain stays, outside to outside, be smaller than 2 x chainline at the chain rings edge?
On my frame, the distance between the chain stays is 80mm 93mm from the BB (= radius of a 44T chain ring). Thus, with a 42mm chainline it is not, even in theory, possible to fit a 44T chain ring when accounting for the fact that the chain ring is a few mm tick, or is it?
Have I missed some crucial point? This is the first fixed gear bike I’m building and the chainline issue gives me gray hair.
