I will add an additional data point regarding BB size for the Hunqapillar,
for anyone stumbling across this thread. My Hunqapillar has a Sugino XD2
double crank, which originally had 34-48 double chainrings. The bike was
sent to me along with a Shimano UN55 68x107mm bottom bracket. Upon

Hi Garth,
I know what you mean. Just looking at my pics, the dark grey seems quite a
bit lighter in some shots, and more like what it really looks like in
others. It's a dark steelish grey and not dull at all in real life...quite
attractive, especially when set against the kidney bean red wit
Wow Goeff . . . . I swear every photo I see of the grey/kidney bean
colors they look different!! Some look more steelish blue . . . some
look like a dull grey. I realise the lighting , as well as the white
balance on the digital cam has a lot to do with it though. Did they
offer the grey/orang
Hi Garth,
Glad I could be of some help.
I do vaguely recall that one of the Riv guys mentioned only using Tange in
their standard buildups, but I guess they list Tange-Shimano-IRD on the
invoice, so that it's to the customer's understanding that they could go
with one of the other listed manuf
When I was building up my Bombadil last summer, I asked Mark about it, and
he said they use 107 on every bike.
Sometimes I think Riv should do a promotion for having the community update
their aging webpage content, but that would be a bear to manage.

Yes Geoff, That helps!
IRD uses Tange specs, but even the Shimano is very very close specs.
As of last year, Riv told me they use only Tange. BTW, the only
difference between a 107 and 110 Tange/IRD is on the left, non drive
side. The Drive side length is the same.

Hi Garth,
I got my 54cm Hunqapillar just last month. I got mine with the Sugino XD2
triple crank 46/36/24. It was built up with a 107mm BB, but I don't know
whether they used Tange, Shimano, or IRD. I'm taking this info right off my
invoice.
Rear spacing is 135mm, and I've got a Shimano LX h
113 on a white industries VBC double, just for anybody's future searches...

I never thought of using a shorter spindle to get a better
(straighter) angle between the middle ring and the big cogs. That's
where I spend most of my time. :)
That makes a lot of sense!

113mm is what I wound up with on my Hunq. I'm also using a Sugino XD
double up front and an 8-spd cassette, btw. I think Riv recommends
113mm BBs for Sugino cranks, at least, on the Hunqapillar.

I do friction shift Ginz !! Always have ... always will :) I've
stuck with FW's all these years because I have a stock of NOS and
barely used Sachs FW's. . . . and the cogs just last and last and

even less wear on them. I
Interesting.
I'd previously noticed on Riv's website on the BB page, that they
said:
"Sizing:
Non-Rivendell Road bikes with three chainrings and no bowed-out
chainstays: 110mm.
Any bike with bowed-out, but not ultra bowed-out chainstays: 113mm or
115mm.
Rivendell models except the Atlantis: 1
Well...interesting choice of hub. I have the same hub on my bike.
However, mine is an older model from the early 90's. I believe I
measured the chainline at 42.5mm. Your's may be a bit different,
though it is most likley 45mm. If you use the Sugino with a 110mm,
that ought to give you a 45mm cha
Hi Ginz, I currently am using 135mm Phil 7sp FW hubs with multiple
sets of wheels. I may go to a 9sp. cassette one day, but I don't see
what difference that would make regarding the BB length. If you have
further thoughts on this, please do share! I'd use the same 110mm
Tange for the Bombadil i
It won't depend so much on the frame as it will on your rear hub and
cassette or freewheel. Assuming you have a 135mm hub that is,
presumably a 9speed or 8speed freehub, a 113mm is probably the best
choice. If you are using a 7sp or 8sp freewheel hub, not as likely
given the 135mm spacing, tell u
