read other posts they have all the details.
OK, my point?
used campagnolo pista set of BB (carbon 111mm) cranks 165mm and pedals (titanium) - as I always do - you may like them or not but they are designed for track and work in all my other bikes. sidi ergo (3 I think) carbon shoes
cleats were positioned by the fitting guys so I am not going to move them (in a matter of fact I did for the test but it didnt help).
BB in , cranks in - there is a clearance from the frame and all looks ok (well thinking again you potentially would notice how wide stays go but at the time I didnt).
clip in ... cannot pedal
what we did?
used longer (road) BB added washed on the pedal spindle to distance from the cranks and moved cleats.
that didnt solve it.
the same setup was fine in the cinelli , carvelo t3, ridley
once someone tell my why it was fine there isnt here and provide with senseble technical explanation why I should accept it ... fine.
my point at present is that originally adr told me to bagger off now after going harder with them they 'test' this setup - but I dont want this frame.
clearly it is a design fluke as track specific components dont work there.
how they could fix it? well once they take the frame back they can list compatible component on the website stating that other parts may not work.
otherwise customer like me is stack with finding out an idea how to make it work and what? buying countless number of cranks BB's and other stuff?
meaning what ? that I will spend £700 on the frame and £2k on the parts ? just to make it work? because seller didnt bother to test?
come on...
