That happened to me recently. I rotated the front mech round slightly and that sorted it.

As long as they're for a 9 mm axle, yes.

Yes, I can find you one of those. Send me your details and I'll get them sent out today. Postage will be £2.10 I think as it's over 100g.

I've converted exage hubs from solid to hollow axles, they were both 9mm. I can send you a hollow one for the cost of postage (£1.55) if you still need one.

Can I have the chainset please. Pm'd.

If it's an MT60, you need 5.3 mm spacers. 5.5 will probably work.

I run an m560 front mech with a compact chainset, doesn't seem to cause any problems. The cage on it is a bit longer than, say an m565, but works fine for me.

Can I have the Sugino cranks please. Pm'd

I'll take them at that price. If that's ok.

Thinners would remove it (might remove the original paint as well).
