Martin Reynolds Posted November 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Another question then, whats the difference between the 68/73mm version and the 73mm version? Im guessing the centre sleve on the 68/73mm version allows the cups to move, and the 73mm version only fits a 73mm shell? But could you use the 73mm on a 68mm shell and use spacers?

So is 68mm the norm in trials now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Yup...old ashton justice used 73mm shell. My gigapipe I used to use was 73mm with a 5mm spacer, so you can always space it out ( the same size as freewheel spacers ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need the thread engagement with my f**ked bb shell. Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
