Hi,
I just bought this

http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/road-t ... himchar791

to go through this

http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/shim ... -prod67221

The cranks came with a spacer for each side - items 6 and 11 in the following link

Do I need to fit the spacers?

Thanks

    I just finished reading a thread where it was said you do need to fit spacers for a triple. i suspect this is because the crank is longer to accomodate the third chain ring.

    it's in the instructions to do so, so i would say do it and see if it seems right when you're done.

    Good luck, and kudos for giving it a go!

    For anyone reading this in future, I did fit the spacers and it's all symmetrical and shifting nicely.

    Thanks Triban :mrgreen:
