Jamie mcdonald Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 I recently have bought a sram dub cranks set With the inspired bash. I had a bike shop instal it and it turns out they have not put any spacers in.Allowing it to shift backs and forth.Sram recommends a 4.5mm spacers for my frame size But the bb only came with a 2.5mm spacer and if I were to install that it would remove play but the preloader will be pretty far out. I just dont know If it would work well and not damage my new cranks and bb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 That wouldn't really be ideal. That's why the SRAM cranksets sold with those bashrings come with this spacer: That fits within the bashring constraints and spaces it out correctly. You could get away with doing it by filing/grinding/whatevering a regular 4.5mm spacer but it'll probably take some doing. It'll be better than running your cranks incorrectly spaced though.
