Why would chainline and Q be affected? The only downside I see is the need for a hard to get spindle, but, get that spindle and the rings ought to be where they need to be, and the Q ought to be fine since Q is determined far more by arm angle than by spindle length. The Q on the mtb with the 145 mm Phil was only 160. The other disadvantage is the narrow gap between outer ring and crank arm, making some wider, modern fds difficult to adjust properly, though I think this gap was increased in later editions of the crankset. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
