You may find the chain line is optimized for hollow tech 2 chain lines. I have found using current SRAM cranks with either 2 by ten spiders in 104 or spider less cranks I.e what home brew componets can make you I have had to use the pauls chain device which has a lot of range in it's chain line adjustment. Can you space the top guide at all outboard a bit to make it fit.

That's what I found when fitting with my isis bracket. I used a washer from an old set of v-brakes (approx 2mm) between the upright and the guide. The washer had a rounded surface which let the guide be angled slightly along the chain line.

Hi Guys,

Cheers. You have mentioned exactly what i thought i may have to do. Space out the Guide from the plate.

Nothings ever simple, but cheers. I don't want to but another Crankset and BB just to fit this thing, so i'll fabricate something tonight.

Cheers
