Egg Fried Rice Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 you dont need to buy a new bottom bracketjust buy a bottom bracket spacer and out it on the the drive side. it will pull the cranks further out to allow room for the ring and shouldn't hit the stay. as there is no sprocket and bash ring on the other side it shouldn't be a problem.JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyoyo Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 When i swapped my bike over to my Ashton, i needed to get a longer b/b because i had the same problem.You need quite a wide one.What cranks are you running? Because i needed a stupidly long (something around 123mm) one to fit my burns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoyoyo Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 I had a 118mm b/b and it was either too short, ot it was too close for my liking. So i just went for a 122.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
