Sorry for the perhaps stupid question...
I'm looking into replacing my heavy ass old steel cranks with something lighter like the Gravity Lights. My B.B. width is 73mm but I need to be sure that the crank arms will be able to clear my frame once installed. My bike has a built in chain guide and pulley wheel system.
I did a rough measurement of my current set up and measuring from the outside of each bolt on my cranks arms I get roughly 187mm but it's probably less. Are there different standard spindle lengths for cranks? It's been years since I had to think about it. I use a bunch of spacers that came with my FSA 3 piece cranks to tweak the chain line. Do people do this with other cranks as well?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
