Just to make sure I'm as big an idiot as I think I am...
There's no way then to get a measurement from the wheel specs (as to how far from the rear cog sits from the midline of the bike) and a measurement from the bottom bracket specs (as to how wide it is) combined with a measurement from the crankset (as to how much it adds to the width of the bottom bracket) to know whether a certain combination of wheel, bb and crankset will give a straight chainline?
