Czar Bottom Bracket/Crank Help. Updated, bike is finished!
Hi guys, I'm the proud new owner of a Czar frame. I've been collecting parts and am about ready to get the thing on the trail. I'm a weeeeeeeeee bit excited to say the least.
I promise to post pictures soon when she's finished up.
Unfortunately, I've run into some trouble with the crank/bottom bracket. I purchased the Race Face Next SL crank and am running an XX1 derailleur from an old bike. I had a PF30 bottom bracket installed and then when the crank got here I learned that the Next SL crank uses a proprietary bottom bracket so I ordered it. It arrived today and clearly states in the instructions it is NOT for a 73mm bottom bracket width. I'm at a loss here and am thinking I'll return the Next SL crank and just order up a XX1 crank. If I do that, I'm assuming I order the BB30 crank with the 168 Q-Factor? I'm sorry for the rambling post but I'm new to bike building and am frustrated with the mistakes I've made so far and want to eliminate any more and get this thing finished. Am I headed in the right direction, or no?
Thanks in advance for the help!
