The crimp is really disturbing. It actually looks worse than it is in the photo, but what a crap design. (I was going to buy a Spork 2.0 for my other bike so I could put on front panniers, but this frame was cheaper than that fork, so I decided to go for this instead.)

Since I had a 2.5mm spacer lying around, I put that on*. The good news is it solves the crank bolt issue. The bad news is that there is not enough of the thread exposed on the adjustable (non-drive-side) cup to put the lockring on. The spindle is 113 mm, so at least I know how much to size up now if I get a new square taper BB, but my growing hatred of square taper (which is why I took this off my custom bike and put on a GRX crankset) is making me think twice.

Looking at this, I think I need 3K?




* Regarding the shim: My right heal clips my chainstay on my other bike, so shimming the BB on the drive side might actually help, all else being equal.
