Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

miche chainline?
i need to move my miche cranks across 2mm since they don't give me a straight chainline with my back hub. but i was wondering does this matter that i won't have a symetrical spindal each side? I mean that there will be 2mm more on the non-drive side crank arm than on the drive side crank. Will i notice? Sorry for the dumb question.

cheers beers no gears!

p.s the bottom bracket is miche too.

Assymmetrical bottom brackets are pretty common, and you probably won't notice the difference. Do it.
