Reset Ti Bb Issues.

Recommended Posts

Just bought myself a new bottom bracket though like a dipstick i didn't check my bb shell length before buying it and just presumed it was 68mm. Turns out it's 73mm.

Bought the Reset titanium bb and obviously the axle is centred too far over the drive side and given the super low standover of the limey 2 stock frame my non driveside is bashing on my magura slave.

Is there anything i can do or a different bb i should get? I looks at the trialtech one last night but that appears to be the same cup design and i was unsure of the "designed for 68mm but can be used with 73mm shells" thing.

My wheel is dished a little bit biased towards the non drive side anyway, got 3mm clearance with the tyre non drive side and around 6/8mm drive side. Crank is only just catching at the minute and once fully worn in/seated to my axle the crank will have moved over another 2mm. It works but there is an obvious difference when looking at it.

Unfortunately i can't fit a spacer to the bb as it's fitted drive side first and the outer lip of the bb cup is flush with the frame. Non driveside cup is inside the bb shell by about 3mm. No idea about lathing some spacers for the driveside bb cup though, might be an idea.

Turning some spacers (Y):P

how much axle do you have in your crank ?? maybe a spacer directly on the axle

I'd do this chris ^^^ I've had to do it on my non drive side crank because of stripping problems, worked a treat :).

Cheers josh. I would use spacers on the axle but there was another thread with someone doing that and everyone said the spacer killed the axle as it put the crank on a weak point. May have to drop round with it and let you take a look in person, if thats alright with you.

Sorry inur, i thought your idea was to put a spacer over the bb body then slide the bearing cup on again to space the bottom bracket further over to the non driveside?
