W@nker.

B/B's are different widths, so spindle tubes may need reducing to suit. Spindle washers may be required if tude is too short. Vernier calipers are useful to measure.

 :wtf: you talking about? im trying to help , a pece of tube cut at a different length and same diameter will do the job,washers are only for the chainwheel end :idiot2: as for the spline that can be hacksawed too

I think what Dan-Dare and the others are saying is that it doesn't matter whether you use the tube on it's own or put a washer in there - the important thing is to ensure that the distance between the bearings has no gaps (otherwise the crank arms pinch on bearings and make them tight).

Having said that, if I can find a longer length of tube to cut down, I will  :daumenhoch:

Thanks gent's
