SingleSpeed / Track Bottom Bracket and Cranks
I am in the progress of building my first bike from scratch and am having some issues deciding on the bottom bracket/crankset combination.
My frame has a BSA 68 Bottom Bracket shell, track dropouts and my rear axle freewheel cog has a chainline of 41.5. Now since this will be a singlespeed I'd like to have a decent chainline, from what I gathered finding 41.5 at the front is nearly impossible but at least a chainline between 42 and 43 should be doable at the front, making it run smooth. I have the following requirements:
Looking at this, I feel like my options are fairly limited. Option 1: Miche Crankset
Option 2: Rotor Crankset
Another (much cheaper) option could be the SRAM S300 - but it does have a BCD of 130mm and I am not sure about the quality of the BB (and I don't really want to buy another BB if it comes with one)... Can anyone with some more experience maybe shed some light on my options above - if you have other suggestions please let me know as well. Also I ignored Q-factor as I already found that my limitations are quite high and I am not sure how much it matters. |
quit obsessing, lighten your wallet, then go ride your new bike.
end result.... :D:D:D ps.. there are any number of other track cranksets available.. pick one. |
