I took up forum member ArsBars on his generous offer and the rear wheel off his Bianchi Pista is on it's way to assist in the "fixifying" of my old Miyata.
The Miyata's original bottom bracket was 120mm wide, and I plan on using the original straight-arm cranks. This would put the inner chainring at approx. 43mm from the center of the frame. However, the bottom bracket is shot and I want to replace it with a new one that gets the chanline as close as possible to the Pista wheel.
Queston is, can anyone tell me what the chainline of the Pista rear wheel is? It's the '03 model with the CXP22 rims. FYI, The spacing in the rear is 125mm and the Pista wheel is 120mm, so I don't think there's any problem in pinchng it down that far.
Or should I just wait for the wheel to get here before ordering a BB?
thanks
Kevin
