[#893315]

I have a Howitzer BB (an XR I think) which is marked as 68/68e/73/73e, now it measures 73mm between the cups, but judging by the SRAM site, there should be spacers or something. I got this second hand and was told it would fit, but it just seems to be 5mm too wide, am I missing something really stupid and small or am I just wrong and it won't fit a 68mm shell ????

I can't see any spacers at all, could they just be missing ???? If so, anyone got any that they can give me ? Although....spacers would surely widen the shell.....

I'm so confuzzelled !

yes it should have some spacers with it in order to fit a 68mm bb shell. Mine has 2 on drive side and 1 on non drive.

they are the same as all the other ones ie 2.5mm thick, (though the ones on mine are metal not plastic) so any brand will do. Try putting a wanted ad on classifieds I'd have thought.
