i dont know a whole lot about making a good chainline, so it'd be cool if i could get some advice before i drop $$ on stuff. the last component i need to finish my bike is bb/crank, i've already got a paul hub spaced to 126mm, and i've heard that pauls have a strange chainline angle or whatnot. i'm deff. pulling for the stronglight track crank/bb combo with the 107mm spindle.


will the crank/bb match up with the hub? does having 126mm spacing do anything screwy? is this all a matter of re-dishing? do i need to be more descriptive of my frame or anything?

any help would be much appreciated. i dont know jack about chainlines.

the spacing of the rear hub won't have any effect on the chainline. chainline is all about three things -- hub body, cog, and dish. on a track wheel, which is generally symmetrical, you shouldn't have to worry about any sort of dishing. people here have claimed that paul hubs have a 46mm chainline, but i tend not to believe one or two anecdotal lines that i've heard on this forum. i think that paul hubs have a standard track chainline. plenty of people use paul hubs with standard track crank and bottom bracket combinations, which yield a chainline between 42.5-43.5 when a cog is slapped on. it might be worth measuring the chainline in the rear to confirm this. this is all to say that the stronglight track crank and bottom bracket combination should be fine.
