Title: Profile bearing tube spacer question
Post by: JT71 on May 19, 2009, 07:40 PM

what are the two lenghts?

I assume that the one in my DK was the right length but when i changed the bearings the one i had was too short.

i think i need one about 50mm, but when i cut a piece of seat tube to make one it came out a touch too long.

so i'm going to buy one but need to know what the lengths are for the gold and the silver ones.

This is strange tho... that info was lifted off the profile website shop (crank spares) but i just went out to look in my box of bits, and i've a spacer tube here out of a mid bb set (it's black) which is only measuring 44mm  ???

Is it a mid or us bb you're setting up?

PM me ur addy if you want this one, just in case, and i'll get it out to you tomorrow.

If it's a wee bit short you could add some washers inside the BB shell as well.

Brian  :)
