Hi guys,
I am considering buying the Sugino-style crankset from Spa Cycles. Can I can use the triple as a double, provided I choose the right BB spindle length to have the correct chainline?
I might want to switch to triple later on (I use friction shifters, so I would only need to change the derailleur), but I wonder whether the crank risks to interfere with the frame if I use a BB with a shorter spindle.
It's not an expensive crank, but would be sad to buy the triple to then find out I cannot use it as double.
Thanks!
