fairy elephants Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 you can take apart a casette and use the spacers from that. Why do you need 10mm of spacers? :unsure: thats a silly amount <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve sturt Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Use cassette spacers, but movind it 10mm to the drive will probably mean your left hand crank wont go round past your stays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 movind it 10mm to the drive will probably mean your left hand crank wont go round past your stays. ← And the threads will fall out of your frame. You can get away with 5mm on some BBs with a lot of threads, but 10mm is FAR too much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the latter, you're f**ked and need a new BB basically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Is it an FSA BB by any chance? Either way, if it's a 73mm wide BB body, and a 68mm wide shell, you just need a 2.5mm spacer on the right hand side, pretty much. Then just do the left-side up. It's OK to have some threads showing on the left, outside of the BB shell <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
