  it might catch when the cranks flex under distress (hill climbing etc.)

  miche BB's are adjustable by a few mill right? i'd push out those cranks or use a longer spindle and put the chainring on the inside of the spiders.

  whats on the back that's giving you 40mm?

  It's a Sovos hub with a Dura-Ace sprocket one side and some unknown make the other. If I pushed the chainset out further I would have run out of thread for the sprocket after I'd fitted a spacer behind it.

  5mm? not good. Excessive chain sprocket/cog wear, noisy drive chain

  No, I said it ***was ***40, it won't be after spacing.

  that's fine. provided the chainline is OK?

  too close is when it rubs!

  I've had to get the sprocket spaced out a bit to get it closer. Front chainline is about 45mm and rear was 40.

  Does this still happen?

  Looks nice.

• Budget cranks, which one would you go for?

  Any opinions on Miche or Sugino chainsets? I'm putting a fixed together and not sure which to go for.

  Resurrecting an old thread but think it's valid. I'm putting together a fixed and am trying to decide whether to go for Sugino or Miche chainset. I've got around £100 to spend so no top of the range recommendations please.

  Thanks.
