Mark,
On a non Rivendell bike that I had those cranks on I used a 122.5 BB. I
could have went a little shorter had the chainstays been dimpled for
crankrings. It was that inner bolt on the 36 chainring that caused much of
the problem as the head sticks out past the chainring. I came up with 122
Wow, really? Erik of Bikenoir/Cosmic Country mentioned 113mm BB on the
Hunqapillar. I have a VBC Mountain and 113mm waiting for installation in
the box... maybe I'll need to plan on a longer time window before venturing.
Here's the link to the thread on 113/VBC/Hunqapillar:

I'm rolling a 40x24, for climbing infinity and maximum clearance. I'm
within a few mm of rubbing 60s. Not sure if I have a 113 or 118 down there,
been a year or so since I replaced it.

Well it's still a mystery. I used some callipers to measure the BB in my
frame, it's 114 from end-to-end and my rings bottom out on the frame before
the BB taper even starts to make full contact. Using the instructions on
the white industries website, they'd have me running a spindle over 140,
Since this has been a topic on my mind, I just noticed that the hunqapillar
on the Radavist has the White Industries *road* VBC cranks, which have a
very narrow Q factor, plus 46/36 rings, which should be even harder to fit
than my situation. Confounding!

Hi Mark,
Did you try Keven or Brian at Riv? They both run VBC cranks.
Brian's Hunqapillar http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/staff10.htm
Keven's Appaloosa http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/staff3.htm
Good eye on the Radavist-- it seems like Jared (at Riv) may have insight
into the BB length.

Great call, Just sent Brian an email about it. He's also running the road
VBC cranks like the Hunq on the Radavist. Very curious how that works.
Last night I bought a super cheap 127.5mm BB just to try it out. Turns out
it does work, despite the White Ind calculations pointing me to a much
long
This is being over complicated. You are trying to equip a road double, with
way too high of an inner ring, on a bike with 60mm tire clearances. You
will need a crazy wide bb to do so. 125 isn't very long, old mountain bikes
with high profile cranks used them (early 80s mb-1s among them).
The solut
The ENO crank is not a road double actually, it is a mountain double crank.
VBC cranks are offered in two variations - road and mountain. ENO cranks
are the single speed and mountain double arms. The cranks I have are
designed with wide chain stays in mind, so this should work. I always knew
th
Realized after posting that you likely were referring to the 46/36 chain
ring sizes as being a road double, not the actual crank arms. My mistake.
Ride your bike!

Mark,
I am correct in thinking that you picked up these cranks used? and if you
have a 113 bb spindle, new or in good shape, can you put the arms on said
spindle out of the bike, so that the arms are across from each other, and
torque down to spec of 30 ft lbs? From there it should be easy to
Mark,
I installed the White ENO/VBC Mountain on my Hunqapillar. It's a 44/26 on a
113 Shimano BB. There's not much room for a larger inner ring (or outer
ring for that matter). Here's a pic of the inner ring.

Oh thanks Shoji!! That's awesome that it fit on a 113. Thanks for sharing.
Once my rings come in, I'll share a photo of the ring/bb combination here
as well for future reference.

Rob,
thanks for the tips. Sorry to have delayed my reply. You are correct, these
cranks are new. I had also wondered about the condition of the crank arms,
but thankfully they seem to be in great shape. I can torque the arms down
to 30 ft lbs and based on my eyeball measurements, I'd say I have
14 matches
