I just put together my new/used frame, an older azonic steelhead and am having some spacing issues. It has a 68mm bb and here are the cranks and bottom bracket I'm using.
cranks: Truvativ Hussefelt 2.2 RG

bottom bracket: Truvativ Howitzer XR 68/73-56mm
http://www.pricepoint.com/detail/155...acket-2008.htm
On the 22t ring on the crankset...it shifts through all the rear cogs perfectly and the chain alignment looks good. On the 32t ring it shifts through the 3rd-8th cogs fine, but on the top 2 cogs on the back (32t and 28t) the alignment is horrible and it throws the chain on the front back down to the 22t ring.
I've toyed around with the spacers that came with the bottom bracket and tried different spacer configurations and it went from terrible chain alignment, to the problem I'm currently having. If it makes a difference, I'm planning on using a front derailleur (it's on it's way to me) instead of a chain guide. I'd like to get this problem solved without further spending any cash or changing any of the parts I have currently since I'm on a small budget with this build. I don't have a LBS that's easily accessible to take the bike to. Sorry for the lengthy post, but any tips?
Thanks!
