Well my knee hurt like hell yesterday and even after a Ibuprofen at Mersea it didn't seem to get better - the pain only going when I pointed my right foot down in the pedal stroke... a pint of IPA and another Ibuprofen later at the Arrivee and it was fine on the way home.... I suspect it was mostly the cold causing the issue - knee OK today also!...
But in other news, good job I didn't fall for the bait and take the single speed in fixed guise - the chainline is well off with the new rear fitted, looks like the Surly hub I have with 135OLN is a 53.5mm chainline, the longest BB spindle I have here is 113mm and still to far (=a lot!) inboard to line up...
For them that has a 68mm BB, what spindle length are you using?
I'm going to put the 110mm UN55 in the bike and measure that to see what the difference it gives to teh UN55 113mm to then calculate a target length but any info from the experienced ones will help inform/validate my next wiggle order!
ETA: Miche use a 107 to get a 42mm chainline on their Primato, so (53.5-42)+107 = 118.5... so I guess I need a 118mm long UN55 ?
