[Closed] Help! Fitting X01 cranks with a Hope BB

Hi,

I am trying to fit a set of X01 cranks to a 73 Hope BB using the appropriate Hope GXP conversion kit.

The question is…., I have a 2.5mm spacer on the drive side as per most 68/73 BBs for use with Shimano cranks. The instructions for the cranks indicate that for a 73 shell there should be no spacers but that is with a SRAM GXP BB. The crank spindle is 8mm shorter than the Shimano HT2 XT cranks I have taken off.

So, do I leave the spacer on and does the non-drive side crank end it sitting flush with the Hope GXP converter?

Thanks,
