What bb will work with what crank with these wheels
https://www.bicyclewheelwarehouse.com...d&productId=61
I ordered these wheels too build of my old raleigh reliant. This will be my first build.
Im a little confused as too how make sure my crank and bottom bracket are compatible with my frame and wheels. In terms of general fit and also chain fit.
I was looking at a couple cranks
miche advanced track
Sugino 75s
Campagnolo record pista
Thanks!!!

Any 700C wheelset will work on a conversion....
And why spend so much on a conversion anyway? All the cranksets you listed made me ROFL especially the 75's; through owner experience you need a 109mm ISO BB; with a sugino 75 set up on your said bike, just the crankset setup would be worth more than or at least double if not triple your entire current set up with or without your new wheelset.

I guess Ive been trying to learn about singlespeeds and am a bit overwhelmed....Im just trying to find nice strong parts that wont fail me.
I was trying to ask about chainline and what crank/bb setup would match my wheels best. I got DT Swiss 1.2 wheelset with champion dtswiss spokes and formula hubs.

I don't think that matters.. i've always been unsure about it, but I think all single gear hubs are made to the same specifications.

I had a related question, as I am building a fixed/free singlespeed bike myself.
I've got an old '77 Schwinn Traveler frame that I'm using w/ a BB shell width of 65mm. How will this work if almost all forums and parts, including Sheldon Brown, say most are 68mm? Or is it not something I have to worry about? I'm using the Truvativ BB American-to-Euro adapter, and if possible, am planning on using this Sugino Bottom Bracket 68 x 103mm and Origin8 Track Crankset 165mm 46t, but I am not sure if all of these parts are compatible. I've seen/heard different spindle lengths suggested for the origin8 crankset, so not sure about 103mm vs 107mm vs 110mm and I have definitely heard that the BB should not stick out too much from the shell (which I am worried about, if my shell is 65mm and the most BBs are 68mm).
Basically, my questions are:
-Are all those parts compatible with one another (and will they work well together)?
-Will the BB be okay being 68mm if my BB shell is 65mm? (I measured it many times to make sure)
-Is the 103mm spindle on the Sugino BB okay for the Origin8 crankset or will I have to get a 110mm (since I haven't been able to find a 107mm)?

Yes, the parts will work together.
Did you read this part of Sheldon Brown? https://sheldonbrown.com/chainline.html
Using either the Sugino or a Shimano square taper bottom bracket is fine. I believe the Shimano is available in 109mm. Either one will work; don't stress over a few millimeters. What rear hub are you using? I've used the Sugino 103mm and the Shimano 109mm with Sugino cranks and Formula hubs and had no troubles.
I don't know where you are getting a 65mm measurement. That Schwinn used an old Ashtabula one piece crank; hence your need for the American to Euro adaptor. There never was a 65mm diameter bottom bracket. https://sheldonbrown.com/gloss_bo-z.html#bottom
If you have some bizarro world bike, please post pics.
