Spefically which VO crank with which rings are you referring to ? There are two models with different BCD's. That version of Atlantis has very bowed and non-dimpled stays just like my Bombadil and you just can't fit any sized double on there. These frames are not meant for double road cranks with straight arms. VO's suggested BB length would be for "average road frames", but the very bowed Atlantis and Bomba chainstay shape is not that. You run into a double whammy of clearance issues, of both rings and arms. Fitting cranks on these frames is really a case by case hands-deal, you won't know precisely until you're doing it. You may end up with such a long BB that the chainline is overly wide and or the arms end up wider than you like. If you're gonna try anyways, have a 118, 124 and 127 BB on hand, with some spacers for the driveside if needed. The most common to use are .5mm, 1mm and 2mm.
Otherwise something like a New Albion GS double crank may fit better, with 46/30 rings and 94mm BCD. The sugggest BB sizes start at 110mm, so even if you have to go up a 113/115mm, you won't end up overly wide in chainline or tread width. It's not blingy silver for sure, but least it doesn't have the wonky hidden 5th arm like the other Sugino made versions. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
