Been having a creaking sound from down below. Though it might be the BB so whipped the cranks off and tried to nip it up. The drive side spacer is in place but protruding, and broken in two.

Can you buy them sperately, I can't seem to find them anywhere.

Also is it likely that the problem was introduced when fitting or during riding. I only ask as it was shop fitted, about a hundred miles ago.

Cheers in advance

Pop into your LBS, they've probably got hundreds of them!

If you tighten the BB cups up too much then the spacer ends up cracking, so it could have been done when it was fitted.
