Hi

I have a 2004 Trek OCLV race frame that I use with a WI ENO Ecc hub fixed. It is by far the most fun bike I have ever owned, but I'm thinking about a more elegant solution for the cranks.

I'm using a Campag Record dbl with a velosolo ring mounted on the inner position. I can't remember what axle length BB I used but it gives a near perfect chain line. But its fully, and I can only use 4 c/bolts and not the 5th one which goes into the back of the crank arm. I can't put the ring on the outer position (with a shorter bb axle, natch) because the back of the crank spider would foul the chainstay.

Anybody got any experience here?

Spin the cranks, then when it stops have a look at where the chain wheel teeth sit inside the chain. If it is nice and central you've got the right chain line.

Then go on to see if you chainring is sitting central on the spider by following the Sheldon page

Looks like he lost his Livestrong wristband too

Lucky not to get a shard of track up his ass as a souvenir
