right, so currently trying to put my new ride together, but I've hit a snag...

I've got dura ace 7600 crank arms and a Shimano UN54 BB (110mm-correct according to Sheldon)

The BB is in fine etc.

I've tightened the crank bolts as much as possible.

The non-drive (left) crank is about 8mm from chainstay (facing back)

The drive side (right) is about 4-5mm from chainstay.

After speaking witha couple of mates, they say this shouldn't be a problem.

Just wanted some opinion from my usual source of reliable info...... let the ribbing begin

not a real problem, but easily fixed with a 2mm alloy shim on the drive side between the bottom bracket cup and the frame to correct it.

It might affect your chainline, which is a problem if so.

I shouldn't imagine its a problem, I've seen a few (particularly older bikes) with a tight chainring/chainstay clearence.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
