I'm collecting the bits for the eldest's move up to to a 26" build, but I'm a bit stuck with regard to cranks. Anything short enough, looks like it'll have to be square taper, I have found these but can't find the definitive answer as to what BB size I'll need to get the best chainline. BB shell is 73mm (NS Clash Jr) with 135mm rear spacing, so I guess I am looking for a chainline of around 48-50mm, or should I be looking for something narrower for a less adult Q-factor? Laddo is a short-arse ten year old.

Any advice gladly received, cheers.

Thanks @poah, I think it was your cracking build on mtbr that tipped me into choosing that frame.

@phil258 that could be a winner, I'll drop you an email.
