Can you advise me on the correct bottom bracket size I need? I've replaced the original cup & bearing BB with a cartridge BB. I purchased a Tange BB 107 and it's too short on the right by 3mm. It's perfect on the left side. I need to push the right side out by 3mm so that the crank doesnt hit the frame. I'm using an old 80s Sugino double-ring crank 144 BCD. This is for a fixie conversion.
Do cartridge BBs come with varying legnths for the right spindle arm? Should I put a few 1mm BB spacers on the right side?
I'm hoping that I wont have to resort to going back to the oldschool cup & bearing BB.
Here's a picture of what's going on.
