Hi guys, I've dropped a major bollock. Just bought a Race
Face BB for 50 quid off ebay - 113mm. The crankset I want is
the Race Face Evolve xc cranks. Look cool with the forged
name in! The spiel says you should run them on a 108mm BB
for the correct chain line.......dough, i bought a 113!!!!
Is anybody else running this crankset on a 113mm BB? If so
does it work?
Cheers

Doesn't it need to line up with your rear cassette (and not
foul your frame)? As such, depending on your rear axle
width, you might be OK.
e.g. building a bike with a 150mm rear hub meant that the
chainline guide was well out, especially as I had a
chain guide mounted on there as well.
of course, "lining up with your rear cassette" covers a
multitude of problems I suppose...
