I rode the 32/15 fixed with the axle right in the teeth of the dropout, and it was fine, "off" chainline and all. I'm a giant fan of the Surly Dingle cog for maximizing gear difference and minimizing axle movement. That cleans up any theoretical chainline issues, too, but you might start to obs

All, After confirming I have a 110 BB I ordered the gaurd and the 74/ 32 ring that was missing from my QB's crank. I intend to run a 16t freewheel on one side and a 15t fixed cog on the other side of a fixed/ free flip flop hub. This should give me a nice cruising gear in fixed and the 16 Fw has
