sorry Chris, didn't reply on the cogs. Ended up needing a new BB on bike I am building as axle was too short, so bought a whole Hollowtech 2 chainset on offer. Which means I now have a 32 ring, which means no longer need the 18T.
oh, they are 175mm cranks, as that is what rest of mine are..
thanks anyway

no worries , BTW the campa rims have arrived at my house in france , and I will bring them back next week .
hi hilts
i have toplines running on my single speed xizang - the chainline isnt too bad. i have a 32 salsa ring on the middle ring holes, and then a king sprocket on the freehub body - i used a combination of spacers to get this slightly more to the right than usual.
when i first set it up i used a 123 axle which had loads of clearence on the drive side but the cranks missed the frame by less than 1mm on the non drive (bare in mind this is a pretty skinny frame). its now got a 127 which works nicely on both sides tho ive just got a cooks bb with adjustable chainline from melvin to sort the problem properly.

i went from 175s to 180s on my singlespeed and noticed a *huge* difference.
1) more torque. my legs didn't change, but the SS climbing got easier.
2) more dings. i whack pedals and crankarm ends on things far more than i used to (all at bottom of the stroke).
