Yes, yes. i know its useless to convert it, so i don't want to hear it from anybody.

i already bought the FMF conversion kit and BB (110x68 un26) and i just need a set of cranks that'll give it a decent chainline (i have Velocities with formula hubs if that helps)

Off the top of the head, IRO cranks call for a 110 BB.

ohhh... i forgot to mention im on a budget so the cheaper the better, this is not going to be my main bike.

so far ive been looking at sugino xd's and origin8's. anyway to make these work? spacers maybe?

Why did you buy the bottom bracket before the crank?

people doing the same conversion recommended 110mm so i just took their word for it. i just assumed it has something to do with the conversion.

Back to the TOPIC.
