Finally ready to fit my Revolvers to my Tioga-build:



I know there was a (n earlier?) version which had more spacers, on the inside of the bearings too. For these, am I right in thinking the first spacer in from each side should only be used on a 68mm BB shell? This is something I should have checked before fitting the cranks through very tight new bearings The drive side crank doesn't go as far onto the spline as it should and I assume that's the reason why.

Any suggestions about this? I mean these two:

Well, I couldn't wait any longer, so I have reassembled it without those two spacers. The splined axle seems to go far enough into the driveside crank for it to be secure now and the chainline looks pretty similar to with the M730 crnaks/122.5mm BB that came off, so I guess that's what those spacers are for. I'm just waiting for a replacement bolt and washer to tension the driveside cranks and I'll take a photo.
