    Schwinn Heay-Duti Build Questions

    Thanks for all the positive support! I could not have done it without the forum's inspiration. AND of course the skeleton source - Ind-Chuckz!

    Done! Going with a 120 mm crank shaft and the new Red-Line crank arms did it!

    Schwinn Heay-Duti Build Questions

    Thanks for everyone's input. The BB was cheap enough that I bought a more narrow one at 120 mm. I also dropped for another crankset that seems to have a deeper spider, if that makes sense and with what looks like a 'bowed' crank arm. We'll see. Bicycle808; I'll try to get more specific...

    Schwinn Heay-Duti Build Questions

    I am putting together a very sweet Heavy-Duit build. Everything is coming together nicely – except for one thing; the drive train / chain line is WAY off. The front sprocket is too far out! What size BB should I be using? I bought a standard American SunLite BB (130 mm). Should I have gotten the...
