Spindle length

[Resound]

It looks like I'm going to actually have some space in which to start
playing with projects again soon which should result in the stalled fixie
project being revived. I was looking at bottom brackets which is the one
major part I haven't bought yet. Would be be fair to assume that if I've got
Miche Primato hubs and cranks that a Primato BB would have the correct
spindle length to give me a spot on chainline? I find myself wanting to
spend the extra dollars on a Chorus BB but it's a 102mm spindle versus 107mm
for the Miche. Thoughts?

i think the Chorus triple BB is a 107mm (or is it 111mm?).
Either way i would ave your cash. have personally chewed thru 3 Chorus BB's now and suspect they may be a weak link in an otherwise excellent grouppo

Won't work, too short, the triple is not symmetrical.... save your coin and
use the Miche BB, they last a long time!

I have an 05 chorus BB (italian thread) with only 10,000 km on it lying around in the garage somewhere which you can have for the low price of paying the favour forward to someone else some day - (have upgraded to the ultradrive external BB cup version).

Sorry for moving the discussion elsewhere - but are you still heading southwards on the Aus Day weekend?

You bet your sweet bippy - flights booked, accom booked - ready to roll (well, apart from the whole half-arsed training thing ...... but these one day events are more about ticker than fitness aren't they??)

shoot me an email on the address set out earlier in this thread and I'll reply with mobile details etc. As said elsewhere - would be good to meet some ABers
