TokyoTrials Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I'm just gonna do what Ali has done on his Hex and put 2 spacers on the drive side and 1 spacer on the non-drive side as it should be done along with a couple of washers on the axle to space out the chainring. Yeah, the left crank won't go fully, but if Ali has had no problems with his, then I think it should be ok. Failing that I will file down the chainring bolt mounts. Thanks for all your help guys. You didn't need to help me, but you did. Much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK92 Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 so does it make sense to use the longer 83mm axle BB width or stick with the standard 68-73mm, Im trying to fit some Saint cranks on a triton street and Im worried about the chain stay clearance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK92 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Ali"s advice sounds good but my question is does it make sense or not to get the wider axle bb (83mm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostrider88 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Ali"s advice sounds good but my question is does it make sense or not to get the wider axle bb (83mm) It would be weaker and you would need a lot of spacers on the spindle.

Tony Harrison Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 The 104mm PCD is for the outer ring bolts though isn't it, not the inner ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK92 Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 after test fitting both the 68-73 and the 83 its definitely the 83mm DH that fits better, the spindle has the proper depth into each crank arm where on the 68mm version it does not and this is with the same amount of spacers 2 on the drive and 1 on the non drive. On my Triton the chain stays are about 10mm wider than the inspired fourplay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
