In my universe, where friction front downtube shifters reign, I simply strive to get the inner-most ring fairly close to the chainstay- within a couple mm. Sometimes this is the result of experimentation using one or more of the handful of square taper BB’s on hand; sometimes it is a lucky coincidence. If using STI indexed front shifters, things need to be more by the book..[/QUOTE]
This! Except I run old pointy Ergos that have a not really indexed ft shift (thankfully so). Andy
