Measuring the spindle questions. Do I need to pull the spindle? I am thinking I will need BB tool for that, huh? Once I get my batteries charged I'll take pics.
I was looking at the chainstay and I have about an inch of room from the 42t chainring to the chainstay. I was thinking about moving up to a bigger one but I'll stay w/ the size I have now to make things easy.
Since you're dealing with differences of a few mm, unless you have a caliper that will accurately measure the spindle in place, probably have to remove it. Before you do that, you might check the bb on each end to see if the length is stamped into the spindle.
