This question is to anyone using the Dotek (Big Cheese) cranks. What is your chainline up front, and what width BB are you using?

Thanks.

Not sure of exact chainline numbers.
I've run the Doteks on a couple of different frames:
- roadie conversion, 130mm dropouts: 113 BB
- track, 120mm dropouts: 113 BB w/spacers on the drive side

I am looking at them for a roadie conversion with 120 spacing, and was hoping to get the chainline down without having to re-dish. Maybe with 1 103 I could do it, but I may run into problems with the chainring hitting the stay.
