hi guys, i've just ordered the Turbine Crankset (link below) my frame BB is 100mm & my rear spacing is 197.

Ive ordered the 100mm / 175 ..but should i have ordered the 190 / 175!?

I ordered the 100mm / 175 as i thought the 100mm refers to the BB & the 175 refers to crank arm length?

...i'm confused!?

heres the options etc: https://www.tredz.co.uk/.Race-Face-...nly-Bottom-Bracket-Sold-Separately_117458.htm

With the Turbine, you can swap the spindle readily for any length to accommodate most BB shells.

Rear spaced 190/197 requires Bti part # RF-2966.

Spindle length is 189.5mm for 190/197 compatibility.

Yes, that is confusing.

It should have said 170/175 (170mm wide rear hub/175mm crank length).

You do need the 190/175 set.

Just send them back and re-order

It depends on your frame.
Plenty of 197 frames will take the 170 spaced cranks. I have a Echo and a Farley that both work fine this way.
But I have a RSD Mayor that need the 197 spindle

Like the mayor said, some frames work with either. I have a carbon Corvus frame with 197 rear spacing. Most I know run the spindle for the 177 width rear hubs, and it works just fine, giving a narrower Q factor. If you have knee issues this might be a concern. For me, the wider prevents any heel contact with stays since I use size 50 winter boots.
