3. Get cranks with different chainline measurement. I doubt this would solve your problem but its technically true
4. Using hub axle spacers to correct position of cog and then redishing rear wheel. Disadvantage is that you only get to use one side of flip flop hubs after that because the wheel wont be symmetrical. This may be a good option for you.
5. Use a spacer behind your cog. People dont recommend this typically I've found. Also the correction isnt that much. (This is what I ended up doing but my hubs are unusual).
You are right. The Chain ring is further out than the cog.
1. All for trying this but I can't find a 73x103 BB. Anyone?
2. Done.
3. Thought of this but on a tight budget
4. *shudder* If I have to...
5. I have read much condemnation of this method
I can't post pics yet because I need to have 10 posts. I'll see if I get some shareable links going so people can take a gander at the issue. Thanks for the info!
