the headset needs a JIS standard so that limits what you can put on there. anyone know the size bb needed? its an english thread, i think its probably a 110mm.
the alien website says:
““Real” track cranks with 1/8” 144BCD 46T CNC’d chainring. 165mm, square taper, 42mm chainline when used with a 103mm BB (107mm shown in picture). Available in satin silver or black, these are nice with a nice thick chainring and no ugly hokeyiness like the chainring mounted on the inside of the spiders or anything like that."
[quote=“artblur”]i’m worried about chainline…
i really have no clue about this stuff[/quote]
chainline comes from the bb, not the frame, as long as the rear spacing and bb shell are the same between both bikes (they are) it will fit exactly the same.
well yah, i realized that after i submitted that post. i’m going to put my miche track crankset on it (that means a 107mm). I just finished polishing off the aluminum frost… now they are pretty shiney silver
no way, quill stems are sexy… im trying to decide if i want to put my 80mm Nitto Jaguar on it or go with something else… I think the 80mm is going to be a tad short for me.
