Bottom Bracket/Chainline Question
I have assembled all parts for a new Salsa Casseroll build with the exception of a Phil Wood bb since I was unsure which length to get to achieve the best chainline. The Casseroll has 130mm rear spacing and forward-entry horizontal dropouts allowing me to run fixed/ss/ or geared setups. Should I go with the cranks spec'd length of 113mm allowing for possible future use in a geared setup? or is there a better alternative with a decreased q factor?
Here are the drivetrain parts that I am working with: NOS- Shimano 105 FC-1055 (double) cranks 44T surly chainring 3/32 16T EAI cog 3/32 White Industries freewheel 130mm Paul Comp. high flange hub fixed/free/ Paul lockring Thanks for any and all help! Chris |

At first blush, I presume you are thinking that the chainine will be ~3mm off if you opt for the 113mm BB spindle ... BUT, I think that those 107mm spindles are really intended for:
If wider, I presume the hub is more-or-less intended to be used with a standard length BB spindle. Ask the vendor. FWIW. Personally (not that it should matter what 'I' think or would choose to do), I would opt for the "normal" BB spindle because a slight offset (if it exists) does not matter with a Single Speed freewheel ... If you're concerned with the offset on the Fixed side, presuming a threaded axle, you can adjust the dish on the rear wheel so that the Fixed cog lines up perfectly with the chainring & allow the freewheel side to be slightly off line. To state the obvious, you can mount the chainring on EITHER the inner OR outer shoulder ... |
