Apologies if this has been covered before.....
if I stick enough spacers behind the sprocket of my Goldtec hub to achieve a perfect chain line with the chainring, I'm left with only 3 to 4 mm's worth of thread available on the hub for the sprocket to be screwed onto.
To my mind that's a recipe for disaster of the stripped thread kind.
So, my question is - how critical is the chain line? And would it be ok for it to be out by 2 or 3 mm's.
TIA
