Im worried a bit abot flex and general instability with 1.5 spacing in on the chainring. Im thinking about going down to a 105mm BB withing the next couple of weeks so i dont have to space in the chainring. I also was thinking about getting an actual track crank instead of the dotek road crank i have on it now. Would a track crank help me with the spacing? I'll have less than a mm clearance between the frame and chainring bolts if i go with the smaller BB and my current crank. Maybe then id be able to have the chainwheel on the outside rather than the inside then?
