Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Velobuild GF-002
« on: September 29, 2022, 11:31:31 AM »Just finished up building my new GF-002 frame. Almost all parts except for the bars/stem were transferred over from my GF-001.Fantastic looking bike! I just have a question regarding the quote above. What BB are you running?
2. Smallest chainring for the GF-002 is 46T: I tried mounting my regular compact Shimano 2x crankset 50/34 and the small chainring was pressed hard against the chainstay with no room to move. Not sure if my choice of BB made a difference but I have a Wheels Manufacturing BB386EVO. I ended up getting some 24mm spacers for the crankset shaft to push out the crank and 3mm worth of spacers did the trick. Found out after from VB about the 46T chainring minimum.
What perplexes me is that 34t ring rubs against the frame but 46t does not. Shouldn't a smaller ring have more clearance than a larger one when it is closest to BB/chainstays?
