The mavic ecllipse wheels have a 44mm chainline. Currently the crank is pushed out about 5mm or so from the normal octalink line.

I have been thinking about just sending the road crank and the wheels back and going with either a TA or dura ace track crankset and building a set of 120mm dura ace (or simular wheelset) Deep V rims. Hopefully that combination (both utilizing 42?mm chainline will fix the serviere noise problems.

If I run the mavic wheels then I will have to still do something about the 2 mm difference in chainline.

Does this sound like a viable option?
