Not true if he's playing with axle spacers to achieve proper chainline.
If he is playing with axle spacers he is is trying to adjust it to the improperly spaced b/b length spindle. If he has the appropriate length spindle which will yield a 42mm chain line, then the spacer issue is moot and therefor resolved. If he is trying to jury rig the thing to save himself from buying the appropriate length b/b spindle than all bets are off and he will have to unnecessarily complicate a rather simple approach to the unnecessary chain-lineline issue. Just buy and use the appropriate b/b length spindle and all will be well without resorting to unnecessary convolutions.
