Chainline is good, the BB is the right length... but the actual spider of the driveside crank arm is right up against the drive side BB cup. If you were using a 121mm, it would jut out more and wouldn't be a problem... but the chainline would be off and you'd have more Q factor that necessary. A UN-72 looks like it's in my future... I also have a really nice old cup-and-cone Shimano 600 in 116mm, but I guess I'd rather avoid the maintenance... Hmm....AHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03122792478866813896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4243550404949512918.post-8249309970479364702011-04-29T20:15:20.486-04:002011-04-29T20:15:20.486-04:00Adam,
