I'm delurking to post this.
Say I've got an old French road bike that I want to convert to a
singlespeed (or, more probably, a three-speed). It has a double chainring
with cottered cranks.
Ideal chainline is probably on the inner chainring. Conceivably, I could
just leave the outer chainring on there...but if I decided to remove it,
I'd have to remove the crankarm and use stack bolts to space everything
out correctly--right?
Anyway, my question is: is it worth doing this? It's French cottered
crank--so my odds of finding a new cotter pin are about nil, I'm guessing.
