Specifically looking at Middleburn rings & spider. Is it a chainline thing? Cheers.

ATB is 110mm BCD - the diameter of a circle that goes through all the bolt holes

CD (5-bolt) is 94mm, CD (4-bolt) is 104mm

see http://www.sheldonbrown.com/gloss_bo-z.html#bcd

To confuse you, [b]road[/b] compact is the same as 'ATB' with a BCD of 110mm
