Guys I'm struggling with the chain line on my karate monkey.im using surly fixed hub with white industries freewheel so no movement there.i was hoping to use jones inspired xtr m960 cranks with single ring but you can't move the chainring and its well out of line.what are you guys using? Would like to keep the wheels so a change of cranks perhaps? Cheers in advance.

119 BB, 180 Middleburn Uno, Surly flip flop hub, WI freewheel. In a previous life same BB but with a bolt the fixed sprocket to where disc goes thingy. 165 Middleburn Uno..........I ended up buying wider BB, I still have 3 that are too short..........

Possibly, there were no markings. So I measured it, in a darkish garage.....

Is the chainring too far out?

I find a white industries eno crank on a 113mm is spot on with a white rear end. And the cranks are very shiney and nice.

Sorry charlie missed your reply.the chainring will be too far in.the cranks are only designed to have each ring bolted inside the arm.may have to go back to a normal freewheel wheel and use a spacer kit although I have a few surly hub bed wheels!
