Hey Bowhunter, Chalo is helping me get the Nuvinci N171 laced into some 80mm and 100mm rims.
On my 100mm rim, he noticed that the center of the rim to the outside is 51mm. From the center of the hub to the sprocket is 50mm. It would seem that this puts the edge of the rim (and the tire) in the way of the chainline. Did you have an issues with the N360 chainline?
I am going to bring him the bike today to look at...
I was wondering the same thing. In looking at the chainline, it appears it's going to be a close call. I had my guy set up my bike so I can ride it with pedal power until the big block kit arrives from Mike. I don't have an issue with chain clearance as it's set up now.

I wanted to post an update, I've been busy hunting and haven't done so for awhile.
I painted the bike a couple of weeks ago as my hydro-dipper is also a hunter and he won't have time until the end of this year. I did a quick camo rattle can job on it, it came out decent. It's all set up with the brakes and N360 and it's been a joy to ride.
I spent some time last evening getting all of the wiring sorted out. Thank God most of it's plug and play! I'll add some photos of the wiring before I enclose it.
If you look closely you can see the custom bracket I made to mount the rear brake caliper. This was the only part of the whole build that gave me much trouble. The brake mounts on the frame need quite a bit of tweaking to be usable.
The front brake mount didn't require an adapter but it did take some bending to get it aligned.
I really wanted to mount the N360 shifter on the right but I just didn't have room. I'm getting used to having it on the left but my OCD hates that it's upside-down!
RIght handlebar contains the 3 speed switch and the thumb throttle. I rotated the throttle so that it sits more towards the bottom of the bar from what you see in this picture.

These two Cyclops lights should do a nice job of lighting up the night!
The flat plate just below the handlebars makes a great place to mount the kill switch and CA3.
Wiring updates to come soon!
