Hello!

I have just taken a truvativ firex gxp off my meta 55 (63mm shell) and put it into a 2011 heckler (73mm)

I initially put no spacers in however once all tightened up I could feel both cranks had a slight looseness.. ie rocked slightly. So tried one spacer on the drive side although the product info says not to... however I have exactly the same play.

What do you think, knacker BB? Although i'm pretty sure there was no play when it was on the meta... Not 100% on this one.

Cheers for any advice or help!

    Add grease to the bearings. And remove that spacer.
