i am fitting a hollowtech crankset / BB to an early 90' LOOK - the frame has a hanger for a front mech which looks totally straight and not bent...
am having difficulties though when it comes to adjusting the upper / lower limits of the front mech and have come to the conclusion that the bottom bracket needs spacing out for the chainrings to line up properly (on a vertical axis) with the front mech. which is odd because i don't think that they should.
so my question is this:
with no cable tension on the front mech and with no limit screws engaged, how should the front mech line up with the chainrings (double) as at the moment it's sitting plum over the middle of the two chainrings which seems too far out..?
