Hi I purchased a Protovelo web special a couple of years ago and built it up as a fast light bike. Here it is:
<https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-vZWoW06DQfE/VSaXoOBBp4I/AAAAAAAAAdA/k8Kaj7wDx40/s1600/IMG_5589.JPG> I had an almost new Sram Apex mini-group and and old set of really nice A.T. crank arms. I purchased some TA rings off the group for them. <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GpeprbBnns0/VSaXtWZz6iI/AAAAAAAAAdI/T7jYO164sO4/s1600/IMG_5662.JPG> So, these A.T. cranks originally required a long off-set spindle. I purchased a Phil BB to go with it that was offset and adjustable but apparently I didn't really measure correctly or accurately enough. In order to get a good chainline, the BB cups aren't seated perfectly in the shell. I think I have just over 5mm of cup thread showing on the drive side. According to the Phil instructions, "*If more than 5mm of thread is visible, this cartridge may be inappropriate for the frame and crank arm"*, I may need to find another solution. But... I've riden the bike pretty hard and it feels OK. >From looking at this photos, can anyone advise if this needs to be replaced? I don't want take an unnecessary risk.
