    I might of thought so, but how do I check and make sure the one marked 170mm 68mm/73mm will fit my current setup and not the 100mm chainline one?

    I'm guessing the old style frames are 100mm chainline spacing.?

    thanks

    i don't what this means.

    some DH bikes (and fat bikes) have 100mm bb spacing.

    68/73 will fit nearly all bikes.

    whats your bike. whats the crank?

    Bike is a Rocky M'tn Slayer with a Raceface Deus xc chainset fitted.

    SO guessing standard 68mm/73mm size?
    Just measured the bb and from outer to outer is approx 90mm.

    thanks so far 🙂

    Make sure you measure just the bb shell + don't include the cups/bearings.

    RM site does not list Slayer bb width. I would think there is strong possibility that it will be 68/73mm shell. Looks like it takes 135mm rear wheel?

    Yes, it does take a 135mm rear wheel and I ''was'' measuring bb length at 90mm including outer of raceface bbracket.

    The 100mm won't fit your bike, nor the 83mm. That's BB shell width. You need the normal one.

    Thanks spokes, thought as much and would sir being myself be needing the chainring bolts aswell to do a double ring/bash kind of setup?

    If it's arms only, I reckon so.

    yep – just measure the the frames bb shell only – should be either 68 or 73mm

    Ah d'oh, I thought all this time the measurement was diameter of bb not length! 😯

    If RF Atlas cranks then you will just need the 4 double chainring bolts (middle ring + bash). You get the inner/granny bolts with the cranks.

    Are you positive on that zangolin?

    thankyou.

    Yep – had 2 new sets of the RF Atlas FR cranks in the last 6 months. Both came with the granny bolts. They are much longer than standard granny bolts to accommodate the removable granny spider.

    Thanks for the help folks, ordered now and sorted.

    On the bolt front, I went for 2sets in the end before I got back on here to read the info from your good-self zangolin.
