And i'm sure a local bike shop will have the inner spacer if you want it...
thanks!
well i don't know about not using the spacer. it wouldn't be proper if there is a lot of clamping force with the cranks. i am using wombolts. is there a lot of force with these? i also don't think it would be correct to not snug the wombolt down as directed. if you leave it slightly loose to accommodate the lack of spacer you will most likely damage the crank interface.
i swear, nothing can ever go smooth. i thought these mid bb kits were universal. now its like i need to cut a spacer to length. i did call standard today and they said i need a 46mm. i am going to ACE to investigate the use of PVC pipe. this will be far easier than metal for me to get square and precisely 46mm.
no local shops, all mail order.
please, any other comments, or follow-up comments to the above?
