Sometimes you can get the 'same' bearing in different stack heights. - the ...

No problem if you plan to run a regular 24mm crank as you can fit one of these:-

The problem with an exercise like this is that the diameter of the fork crown will likely not match the outer diameter of the head tube at the bottom ... and it will look pants.

You deserve all the faff that this project is likely to give you … and at the end of it be hankering for a triple.

There's one golden rule for taking your bike on a plane … never, ever use a soft bag.

Search: Shimano gearbox patent.
