  • Bottom bracket spacers on Orange 5 for correct chainline?

    I want to run a 36t middle ring on an Orange 5

    The BB shell is 73mm so ordinarily I would run one spacer on the driveside

    Do I need to change this as have heard about issues with fouling the swingarm when using 36t?

    As you said, 1 spacer behind the drive-side cup is all you need.

    Did this on my last 5 and will be doing so again soon on my new one!

    No spacer will result in the chain catching the swingarm bearing cover cap.

    Thanks Nick was thinking 1 spacer might not be enough?
