Lawnmowerman Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 No. The spacers I've used are the sprocket washers off a sturney archer 3 speed hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 No. The spacers I've used are the sprocket washers off a sturney archer 3 speed hub.Cassette spacers, crank spacers ( for the FFW thread ) and bottom bracket spacers are all the same size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmowerman Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Just make sure if you use a cassette spacer you tighten it properly. They're plastic so compress and come loose if not tightened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 The BBs you're using may be for a 73mm bb, or 68mm with a spacer as said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben John-Hynes Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 It'll be your crank splines wearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psycholist Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Remove the cranks, grease the shite out of the splines and tighten the crank bolts lots and they'll quieten down... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
