BB spacers for 1x?

Willst0ne

I’m building road bike with 1x setup. Got a hollowtech going into a 68mm BB. Do I follow the same instructions or is it different as I have one chain ring and no derailleur?
Thanks

The BB spacers are set by the axle length, not the chainrings. Road cranks have no spacers for a 68mm BB. MTB cranks have spacers because they're designed to accommodate a 73mm shell.

Good job you got your answer before you heard butmunchers drivel then

I don’t get what you’re saying, why is this a silly thread and who on earth is butmuncher?

Who mentioned 'silly' except you?

And you'll meet Milemuncher in many of his various sockpuppets.

Four posts up from De Sisti “This is one of the silliest threads I’ve come across”. I don’t really understand what’s going on. Don’t use this forum much but when I do it’s always be useful. Just wondered why it was seen as a silly thread and who these users you mention are?

I don't see any post from De Sisti (are we reading the same thread?), and Milemuncher is a well known moron who keeps getting banned and posting under loads of names.

Maybe I’m doing something wrong. Scroll up and where someone called Mathewfalle has responded “follow the same. have used no spacers....” then someone has responded to that message called DeSisti. Thanks

That's just nonsense in Mathewfalle's signature. Nothing to do with the thread, it's in all his posts.

I see thanks for that. Learn something new everyday. As I said I’m a forum amateur. Thanks though. W
