What's the best way to decide on the bottom bracket? Install the rear cog, then measure out the bottom bracket shell to decide? The single speed freewheel I ordered and crank puller tools should arrive Friday, after which I should have a bit more clarity on next steps. Looking online at older posts sounds like best bet is to take to the LBS so I can make sure I buy once
