An update, of sorts, I think and hope ;)
I finally and recently received a PW built rear wheel w/ a double freewheel
on it. The chainline seems just fine. I didn't check dimensions on it,
but looks fine. I must've been more worried about the numbers than
operation of it, thus posted the orig
Amen. I run 9sp chains across all bikes except the 8sp bike, which is
doomed.
In 15 odd years of fixed gear riding, "Sure that looks okay" has been fine.
The few times I've ended up with 1/8" gear, I've killed it with fire.
That's like running DOS in a production environment. My Phil singlespee
Wow! Color me surprised if that really is the case that the FW side is
46mm chainline. Also, it's a real bummer that Phil doesn't list this info
on their website.

The 46 was given to me by Phil Wood sales staff. I've seen it somewhere
also, let me see if I can dig that up
Yes, the Paul hubs are @ 44. I'm not sure about WI.

As Eric pointed out, for singlespeed cogs 4mm of offset is not an issue.
There've been zero problems using a White Ind Dos Eno (dual) 16/19 cog (not
technically singlespeed but same tooth profile), on my QB for several
years, using either chain ring on the stock crank.

Hey Wally-
Can I ask where you read that the chainline on the Phil hub was 42mm on the
fixed side and 46mm on the freewheel side? I've been working on flip-flop
hubs for a long time, I even had Phil one for a while (not on the QB, on my
erstwhile Salsa Casseroll), and I've never heard that bef
Wally,
You said your friend is supplying a sugino 75 crankset, and mentioned 1/8"
chain.
Though regular road chains, rings and cogs are fairly forgiving with
respect to chain line (as others have noted), 1/8" track stuff can be more
finicky. I have an 1/8" sugino ring and a 1/8" euro asia cog
The cog-to-cog distance, center of cogs, for 10 speed is 4 mm (3.95 mm), so
I think that even with a flexible chain, but with a single speed cog, you'd
be fine, unless perhaps the chain was very loose. Even the cog center to
cog center distance for a "typical 5 speed", per Sheldon, is only 5.5 mm.
The only problems I have every had with chains coming off on a SS or fixed gear
bicycle happened when using a multi-speed cog. In retrospect, I should have
realized that multi-speed cogs are *designed* to derail. SS/fixed cogs have
taller teeth that lack ramps, all of which helps keep the chain
On a single speed, would a 4mm offset cause a greater tendancy to derail? On my
my SS set up (vertical drop outs) I used a cassette hub and adjusted the
spacers on the hub until the chain didn't want to derail itself. It is a
multispeed chain and there's a Surly tensioner, but even with the tens
A buddy will be giving me a very nice condition Sugino 75 track crankset.
Being tempted w/ this I might as well upgrade other items on the drive
train a get a Phil hub. With that a Phil BB would be ordered to get the
adjustment to keep the 1/8" chain straight to somewhat straight.

You re
If you’re running a road (multi speed) chain on your QB, this is all moot
anyway. Road chains are designed to work at a variety of angles as you shift
from on cog to another and one chainring to another.
There is perhaps a theoretical increase in efficiency from having a chain
running perfectly
Wally,
If I understand your question correctly, you're thinking about moving the
chain outward to match the chainline of the Phil hub, by using a front
chainring in the outer position instead of the middle position that
Quickbeams used orginally? That 'might' work fine, but it's not the
easie
HI Ted:
the chainline on the QB is 42, from what I've read, the chain line on a PW
freewheel track hub is 46. So, yeah, I guess that's what I'm confusingly
asking. Would there be any clearance issues w/ a 46 chain line and going
up larger on either the chain ring or cog as? Sorry, just overth
Hey Wally,
Im not clear on what you are concerned about, and my bike is a SO instead
of a QB, but I've got a 44t ring at ~42mm chain line on a short (107?) PW
bottom bracket. No problem with clearance, if that helps at all.

My QB has a Phil freewheel flip hub and the chain line works perfectly. I
can't speak to the metrics and if they match what you mentioned or not.
With abandon,
Patrick
