Chain gude vs. BB and crank *DING DING*
 

OK so Im putting a Blackspire NS1 on my Transition Dirtbag..... in trying to make this thing work I removed and added the following:

1) I did not put the washers the go between the Y plate and the BB shell mounts... this is because the mounts for the granny ring on the crank hit the BB shell mounting hardware...

2) I used a granny ring bolt to mount the C plate to the Y plate on the upper most mount... this is beacause the stock bolt rubbs my susspension bearing/bolt...

3) I put a 2mm spacer on the right side of my BB to push the crank out a bit to help remedy the prob. in #1

SO now here is my Q.... the left hand crank is about 1/8 from my chain stay and the right hand crank is about 3/4 of an inch is this bad... should I get a new BB with a longer ISIS spindle??? Ill try to mm measurements in the mornin to help.... thanx

oh BB shell is 73mm and not too sure of the spindle length... but it is a FSA platinum BB and a FSA Vdrive Xtreme crank..... any help would rock thanx

If the Granny ring mounts are not clearing, you may have to grind them off. I had to do that to my Holzfellers to fit in a Gamut P40, and so did a friend with the same setup.

hmmmmmm OK thanx Ill think about that one befroe I do... I may want to go double one day I dunno...... Ill bring my bike to work and run it past the other wrenches there.... anyone else w/ some experience/suggestions...???

YAY it worx ground down the granny bolts thanks for the tip man
