Right - got the ribble winter/audax frame home and ready to build. I have a HT2 chainset and BB, anyone know what the spacers configuration is?
Also it has a band on front mech adapter bolted on to 2 small bosses (like bottle mount bosses), can i unscrew the adapter and run a normal front mech with band?

cheers so far!!

HT2 chainset, road or MTB? if its a road then they dont run spacers, if its an MTB chainset then im not going to help as it'll look hideous

Can't recall the HT11 spacing. You can ditch the adapter and run the band on mech.

Edit....if it's a band on mech adapter sorry.

No spacers with a road chainset.

No spacers at all with an HT2 road chainset (as said above) and can you provide pics of the front mech adaptor?
If it's a band on/braze on adaptor then you can just remove it, however if it's bolted directly to the frame like this:

you will need a braze on front mech.
