It mentions about facing the BB shell. Has anyone ever had to do this?

Thanks for the help.
Still undecided on this as i'll still be running V-brakes, no planes to move to discs.
Just weighing up the options.

Thanks for the pics. Same frame as mine.
Out of interest, looks like your running an original xt 8 speed mech. How's that work? Presumably the chainset is a 9/10 speed? What cassette do you have on it?
