[Closed] 34T front on Inbred

Can you move a spacer from the LHS BB cup to the RHS BB cup to move the RHS crank and ring away from the chainstay?
Thats assuming you have an external bottom bracket.

Had a 36T on a sliding drop-out inbred a couple of years ago without any issues. Square Taper BB though...............

i run a 34t on my inbred (vertical drop-out version) without any clearance issues at all.

i'm using a standard bottom bracket (as supplied when i bought the bike as a 'geared' inbred) with a set of Deore LX cranks and a FSA 34t un-ramped ring set up on the middle ring position (i will file off the inner ring tabs in due course).

I have a Raceface 34t & bash on my ss inbred (29er) and no problems here either.

It will be (1/3.14)" bigger.

Plenty of room on mine for a 34T with a 50mm chainline using a 113mm BB. A friend has just started running 36T on his.

Probably not, I'm already two spacers (5mm) on RHS.

Which is what I have, but with Alfine 8 rear. Ok, I might as well bite the bullet and go for it. I had thought about fitting a 16T rear but not sure it will take to clearing the hub.

Thanks
