    Aaargh!

    Looks like I've been a numpty.

    Bought some used road cranks without bothering to think about the chainline they'd need to match up with the rear wheel. D'oh.

    Cranks are 46mm, wheel is 42mm.

    I can't put the chainring on the inside, because it then hits the frame.
    If I move the hub across then I'll have to redish the wheel (and it will no longer be dishless).

    I think my only way out is to take my medicine and change the cranks 🙁

    Just as well I don't run a bike shop as I'd be rubbish.

    Dishless wheels are daft anyway 😀

    Yes, but they look cool.
