Thus, I need about 4 mm deep dent in the chain stay for proper seat. How I can solve the problem? My own suggestions: 1. Take hammer and make 4 mm deep dent in the chain stay. Probably it is too dangerous for the chain stay (weakening of the stay); 2. To get SRAM Truvativ X9 GXP Crankset 2x10 (extra costs), and mount it instead of Ultegra FC-6750. Chainline of SRAM Truvativ is 6 mm wider. It should be enough; What about my suggestions? is it an mtb frame or a road frame? Never tried putting a road crankset on an mtb, but i can imagine the larger-than-anticipated rings being problematic? |
