Scrod,

I plan on building some new wheels with Phil hubs and a White Industries freewheel. If I pair these with a Sugino 75 crank, do I need to compensate for the difference in chainline due to the freewheel?

SheldonBrown.com says that Phil's plus a EAI cog results in a 43.48mm chainline whereas a Phil's plus a White Industries freewheel results in a 45.48 chainline. Would I want to use a 111mm BB instead of the recommended 109mm? Thanks in advance.
