Heya folks,
I've got a question. I've installed a GXP bottom bracket, using the spacers provided per instructions(68mm). I expected the crank spider to come into contact with the shoulder of the BB, like my Hollowtech cranks, but there's a space between the shoulder of the BB and the cranks.
Drive side
Lazy side
Drive side fitment
Lazy side fitment
It's deffo bottoming out on the lazy side. If it did go further into the BB on the drive side, I think the contact surface would no longer be on the bearing. I'm thinking maybe the space is to handle the longer bb's, like the 81mm, but wanted to ask before I start buttoning it up. Is this space good to go?
Thanks for your time!
