hello!
I am trying to build up a vetta custom frame fixed.
The frame has quite thick tubes on the chain stay, so i need a chainline approx 46-47mm.
An older goldtec hub + EAI cog gives me a chainline of 46,3mm on my rear wheel, now i still have to find a solution for the front.
I´ve tried:
Miche Primato 107 BB + Miche Advanced crankset = 43,5mm (nearly touches chainstay, already placed around a lot)
Campy (old stock) 115 BB + Miche Advanced crankset = 48mm (too much, turning the axle around makes it worse, 50mm)
New Campy Veloce 111 BB (symmetrical) + Miche Advanced crankset = 45mm (still a bit to less/close to the chain stay, grrrr...)
Putting the chainring on the other side of the crank, won´t help, because the arms of the crank (165) are as well to close to chain stay, just like the crankset maybe 1mm more space.
I´m already tired of buying things, trying and then fail ...
Does anyone know a solution, or rather a good bottom bracket + crankset combination that gives me a 46-47mm chain line?
The frame is ITA 70mm, 36x24.
I would like to keep the Miche Advanced crankset (ISO taper) but which bottom bracket would fit? So if you have tipps for JIS taper combinations, or anything else, would help me a lot!
Thanks!!!
