But seriously folks - since I was already there, and am actually looking for wheels, and was always Six Fyx conversion-curious, I noodled around there a little and bumped into their Fixed Gear/Single Speed Conversion Kit that includes your crank and noticed that for 120mm rear spacing they also include a
103mm spindle bottom bracket
In all fairness, it was a $60 crank on sale.
But if you go to the listing for the crank on Fyxation's site they "recommend" a 68x107. Typo? Still, I'm out way more than 2.5mm and I can't for the life of me find a sealed 73x103 JIS Square Taper BB. Where this is my first foray into fixed gear cycling and I had a bunch of parts in hand I figured it would be worth $50-$60 bucks to "try it out". Not going to give up yet though. Where there's a will... there's a screwed up looking drivetrain with a potential for disaster!
