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)

130mm BB question

Ok. I know the point to this is so that you can have a nice look with the chainring on the outer side of your crankarm, but how much shorter is the drive-side of the spindle than a 107mm? I've got a nice set of raceface turbines that I'd love to use if I can get my chainline in enough.
