SHIMANO SAINT QUESTION

(1/3) > >>

HEYWOOD BMX:
 :) Was thinking about putting some Saints onto my Dialled MX20.The frame has a 73mm rather than a 68mm bb shell.Will it still be a straightforward fitting job? The cranks do come with a 73bb as well,and Mike from Dialled runs DXR`s which are similar on his  Dialled cruiser.Any help/advice greatly appreciated before I go and waste money on something that won`t fit.

Saints come with spacers so you can fit to both euro BB sizes.

Mate if you want one i get them through work so i can sort you out a healthy discount of about £30 or £40 quid so if you need one let me know, choice of arm lengths and sprocket size etc.

gossa:
You need to fit one 2.5mm spacer behind one of the cups, either side depending on your chainline setup. There should be three spacers with the cranks, only use one, the other two would be required if you had a 68mm shell.  Make sure you get the frame 'faced' if it's not already (removing the paint) otherwise the BB can run poorly, most shops can do it for you.

lodge:
You need specific tools to fit the cups and caps too, Not included with the saint crankset.
