Ugh. I think I may have to deal with having a chainine that isn't perfect. I'm going to be using 3/32 chain, so it doesn't HAVE to be perfect, although I'd like it to be.
I'm just going to buy a 103mm BB and a 107mm BB and try all of the decent cranks on at the bike coop and see if one gives me a ring near enough to 42 that I can deal with it. Who knew building up a single speed crankset would be so... complicated.
EDIT: Hm, apparently you can flip the cog on the Nexus to get a 47-48mm chainline. That's MUCH more workable.
