All right, time for plan B. After sitting in my pile of bike parts and pouting for a bit I started measuring and re-measuring parts and coming up with another plan. I found that the stock Tourney crank arms are 165mm. Yay. The stock spindle was 122.5mm Thus the 107 BB currently in the bike is a no-go. I tried a 110 and since the chainring is permanently attached to the drive side arm it rubs the BB shell but barely. A 113 might get me where I want to be. I got the 110 BB on Amazon so I returned it and ordered a 113 and a 122.5 BB. Those are on the way. In other news the secondary chainring patter is 130BCD so I ordered up a 46t 1.8 130bcd chainring off Ebay. My intention is to turn the currect fixed chainring into a spider and mount the new chainring on whichever side gives me a proper chainline. After looking everything over I'm feeling good about this. itching to get this thing on the road. Added bonus: I scored some 700x28c Continental Gatorskin clincher tires from a guy who was getting rid of his old wheelchair. I hope I'm not too excited to document the process. Will update with pics.
