Lemond Fillmore - chainline issues!

:o

I thought +/-2mm was asking for it! Just how close should it be, anyone know?

+/- 2mm is good enough. it was -2mm on my previous bike which has a long chainstay with a 3/32 chainring 1/8 for the rest it's smooth as margarine.

Could you not put the chainring on the inside of the crank spider? That'd probably bring it in line.

Apart from that, +1 to whoever said change the BB.

-1.

It has outboard bearings.

Thanks for all the answers.

I'm not sure I follow - what do the bearings have to do with the chainline? Can't I replace the BB?

get an EAI cog

GXP/outboard bearings don't actually affect chainline, but the spindle is part of the drive side crank so it's length can't be altered.

Hate to drag up an old thread, but does anyone know what the chainline on the Filmore is actually meant to be? I want to get a polo wheel and it would be convenient to get a hub that has the same chainline as the stock wheel, as I'll be using that to commute with.

I'm leaning towards On One/Formula/etc, but I thought I'd check before I splashed the cash.
