I'm replacing the bottom bracket on my Canyon Nerve, which has a shell width of 73mm and an E type front derailleur. I stupidly forgot which side it was on, so referred to Shimano's instructions. According to Shimano's tech docs no spacer should be used with this combination but there was definitely one on there before, so now I'm not sure what to do.
Any Canyon Nerve owners or people using this combination that can help? Oh I'm using XT M770 cranks.
I've got one on the drive side only on mine now with a new E2 type FR (Shim M985?), but unlike yours this 2x10 RaceFace Next and MRP chain guide though.
I don't recall the 3 manuals agreeing so had to firtle the chain guide wheel spacers so chainline might not be optimal.
Not sure if that helps....
one spacer on drive side Nerve 2012!
Cheers mate!
Think the confusion is because Shimano assumes an E-type front mech is mounted using a BB mount plate which replaces the spacer, but the Canyon has a frame-mounted (ie direct mount) E-type mech
I almost bought a D type chain guide for converting my Nerve to 1x10 before I realised it wasnt a D type mech...
Yep, one spacer drive side.
