Are you running a 1/8 or 3/32 chain?

I am totally a newbie at this but I had to set up a Langster that did not have a rear wheel. I used a Campy HF road hub temporarily and had all kinds of chain line issues with a new freewheel and 1/8 chain. I used BB spacers to get the freewheel aligned just right to keep the chain from making noises associated with chain line being off.

All this disappeared with a used SS/Fx hub.

BTW: I have a Sugino Messenger crank and ring with a IRD BB of 103. It is an English BB, IIRC.
