jetski, build it, ride it, enjoy it. will it really bother you that much if your chainline is .5mm out? Really! And if its is .5mm out will it affect how you ride it? How it rides?
Is this a bike for everyday riding or a show pony rig that will never see dirt or rain or a lock?
But in answer to your question on my single sided phils, I rocked a phil cog, which wore out kinda quick on the everyday ride,it was never swapped out as the bike was bent before it was required and on the travelling bike, the fixed/fixed phils have got a white industries double freewheel on one side 3/32, and a surly 3/32 fixed cog on t'other. Using Sugino RD cranks, chainline is fine, and got me through a world tour of riding...
hope the deliberation over this doesn't stop you enjoying the bike as it was intended..
