[#6333029]

Upgrading a bike with 68mm UN52 BB to HT2 BB70 setup. It previously had a chainline of about 48mm, the BB70 with 2 spacers drive side and 1 non drive, gives a chainline of about 52/53mm. But the crank arms are about evenly spaced to the frame.

Can I remove 1 spacer from the drive side without needing to add one to the non drive? Or must there be 3 spacers in total?

you need to switch it over, not just remove it.

Will it be noticeable having the pedals offset from centre? I can't see any alternative, other than increasing the chainline, but I'm concerned that'll have a knock effect on the rest of the drive train?
