[#7484342]

(before anyone asks, I've contacted Open already, just looking for a quicker answer)

i ordered a Rotor GXP cup set, there wasn't enough axle on the NDS to fit when pressed in

was this one

so i contacted open, told them i was switching to Shimano cranks and could i order a BB direct, so i was getting the right thing,

they send this, its exactly the same as the GXP version apart from the NDS bearing is not sleeved, i tried to fit it, but encountered the same issue

i assume i actually need this? help, bb issue has delayed my build about a month waiting for various shipments from USA/Germany

Yep.Open (not the latest ones) use BB right (or BB right pain in the 'arris) which is wider on the nds.

If it's BBright then yes. Wheels Mfg do a better one that threads together to form a solid unit with perfect bearing alignment.

Aye - should be wider than the road version to work with MTB chainsets. Similar to 86/91mm wide shimano pressfit BBs - MTB 5mm wider than road.
