i thought I knew about bottom brackets, now I realise there have been more changes recently than I thought…..
My issue revolves around I appear to have a warranty issue with my YT Jeffsy crankset which is a Raceface Next SL, the drive crank arm has become lose, this appears to be an issue with them.
But I digress, crank needs to go back to YT and I’d like to still ride my bike during what appears maybe a lengthy return time (another story). Anyway I have a Shinano XT crank in a parts draw (HT II) and having had a quick read, it “appeared” I could just order an adaptor kit for the PF30 and put it on. So I ordered a Wheels Manufacturing BB30 to 24mm adaptor which arrived today.
Looked like the right thing, but up on installing it I found the crank is way to short and doesn’t reach the other side. Reading closer (better late than never) it mentions not being comparable newer wide BB’s….
Now the more I read the more I’m getting confused, can someone please tell me what I need to install my XT crank? I think a Praxis one would do the job, but there seems to be a bit of choice…..:.
