Penpal over in England is converting an old Peugeot to SS. He's a bike
noob, but mechanically at engineer level. I told him to take the rear
wheel to a shop and have them move the axle and get the rear wheel
"undished" in order to get the chainline right. The shop says that this
is "very difficult" and has sold him a bmx hub (110mm and I doubt they
respacered it) and a new rigida rim, plus are charging for a build.
Now I've "singled" a dozen or so bikes, both cassette hubs and
freewheel, and have no idea what they're going on about. Moving a hub
axle and undishing a wheel are extremely normal and basic
concepts--please tell me that I'm not loony for thinking that this kid
isn't getting his chain yanked?
