just fitted a euro bb into a usa bb using dmr adaptor on shimano dx cranks

(1/2) > >>

glenboy:
right i have these dx cranks which were fitted to an expert size bike and as such had the euro bb all complete i was determined to use these cranks on my ripper but asked about for us bb for the dx cranks and was told no chance unless i spent 150 plus, the euro bb was in nice order and a decent one and steve off here put me on to a euro bb to american bb adapter and it was only 17 quid so i thought that'll do for me , got it installed , really nice cnc bit of kit ,installed easy and flush, but when installed , there was a bit of play in the spindle and the crank arms were very close to the frame on the chainstay area, so out it all came they are a weird spindle with sort of circlips so i moved it up one notch put it all back and this time there was no play , only think i had to do was get a couple of washers to go inside the crank arms just to give it that extra clearance and all was in and i'm well pleased and a fellow rad member steve saved me a long search and a lot of dosh with suggesting the adaptor , so thanks steve  :daumenhoch:, heres a few pics
