So, if you do go ahead with this project you're going to need to pay close attention to the amount of clearance that you currently have between the teeth on your little ring and the chainstay bulge. If it's tight now, you have very little room to move the BB inboard.
Assuming that you have enough clearance, you also need to consider possible interference between the chain and your tire when riding in your lowest gear combo. This can definitely pose a problem, even with relatively narrow 2.1 xc-ish tires.
Thank you for pointing this out, I haven't thought of that yet . Better check that out .
As far as being touchy , I've seen tons of your posts and I feel that you enjoy belittling people that don't agree with you .No big deal . BTW I just checked and there's a centimeter of clearance . I run a 2.35 Nevegal in the rear . Surprising how much room there is. Maybe this is the wrong BB spindle length for the bike .?.?
