hi all
just starting to build up a 70s carlton frame into single speed - luckily the axle has been changed from cottered to more modern axle so i should be fine with modern cranks on there - thing is i want to get a stronglight 46T chainset but it says it recommends axle width of 116mm. I just measured my axle at around 140mm - will I have problems?
Also the bottom bracket is stiff as anything - u think new bearings and grease would sort it ? Dont want to change it as read how its hard as its non standard 26TPI thread
any info would be great
thanks
