Hi,
I wish to alter my chainline by moving BB and chainset to the right by
2 mm. Cheapest way to do this would be to put in a couple of metal
o-ring spacers between the flange on the RH BB cup and the BB shell. If
I could find some . . .
If this had been an English or French BB, then any old freewheel spacer
rings would've worked, since they are ca. 35,2 mm ID. BTDT and I can't
get them on; an Italian BB requires spacers with ID > 36,0 mm.
The question: Do any of you know of a source for spacer rings with
inside diameter 36,0 mm, thickness 1,0, 1,5, or 2,0 mm, for this
purpose?
Background: Colnago frame Italian BB threads, Campag Record 9sp
drivetrain incl BB 102 mm axle. I do NOT grease the tapers!!! Normally
I wouldn't have to pull stunts like this but these cranks have been
been on and off so many times, that they go too far onto the BB axle
tapers, causing the chainrings to situate a bit too far to the left.
Result is too much chain rub against large ring when riding with
39t-15t (on a 14-22 cassette). I've checked bike shops of all sizes and
pedigrees but no luck. I live on the west coast of Sweden. Even checked
at www.loosescrews.com but no luck there either.
