Most welcome.
Using a converted freehub makes things easier, as you have much more leeway to tune the chainline at the rear.
If you're using a kit with two large spacers, you may want to get a pack of spacers from Velosolo, as they will give you more flexibility.
If you stick whatever BB you have back in, you can measure the gap between the spider and chainstay accurately.
You'll then have a better idea of what size BB will work.
