Designed specifically for external bearing bottom bracket systems, this 2.5 mm spacer ensures your crankset is positioned correctly to provide smooth shifting and optimal power transfer.

FAQs

Is this spacer compatible with non-Shimano cranksets?

This spacer is designed for Shimano external bearing systems. While it may physically fit other brands, it is best to use manufacturer-specific parts to ensure compatibility.

Do I need to grease the spacer during installation?

It is recommended to apply a light layer of waterproof bicycle grease to the threads of the bottom bracket cups, but the spacer itself does not require specific lubrication.

Can I stack multiple spacers?

You can use multiple spacers if your specific frame setup requires it, but always follow your crankset manual to ensure you do not exceed the recommended total spacing.

Where does the spacer go?

For most Shimano external bottom brackets, this spacer goes on the drive-side cup before you thread it into the frame.

What is the thickness of this spacer?

This spacer is exactly 2.5 mm thick.

Is this part compatible with press-fit bottom brackets?

No, this specific spacer is intended for threaded external bearing bottom bracket cups.

Troubleshooting

Crankset has lateral play after installation

Verify that all required spacers are installed correctly. You may need to add or remove spacers based on your frame's bottom bracket shell width (68mm vs 73mm).

Difficulty shifting to the smallest chainring

Improper chain line spacing can cause shifting issues. Check that the spacer is placed on the correct side (typically drive-side) and that the bottom bracket cups are fully seated.
