S&M speedwagon
« on: May 07, 2013, 05:40 PM »
Just bought myself a speedwagon frame a few weeks back and have just been informed I may have problems running a 44-16 on it due to chain clearence issues. Any other radsters got one of these or encountered it?

Cheers

I prefer the bigger gears up front myself, I think the problems lies with external BB's. Ive seen some posts on vintage regarding the issue and that a DXR crank or a profile spline drive with the offset spider should run ok. I just wasnt planning on splashing out on a new crankset aswell just to suit the frame.
