Chainline spacers (B/B & Cassette)

[FluffyChicken]

I'm looking around for chainline spacer, will be using them on bottom bracket (square taper) and probably on my cassette to space it a touch.

VeloSolo is the only one I've found with 1mm spacers. (and i'll post so I can buy through the link for a few pennies for the site )

(3x2.5 and 2x1.0mm) which should be fine for me

But are there any others out there.
Tried CRC and there is some Gusset (never heard of) but seem really chunky and 1.5mm min.

?

gusset are a good make. strong and durable, make qualty hardcore kit used alot by dowhillers i think, and dirt jumpers

IIRC, you can use Shimano cassette spacers.

Freewheel hubs are the same size so maybe there's something knocking about that you can liberate some from ( for shits and giggles you can screw a hub into the left side of the bottom bracket ) You must be able to buy a dozen or so for a quid somewhere , it's not exactly a technical part .

FWIW, I always have my bracket slightly to the drive side, as if it's in the middle, I seem to get bad 'small sprocket / middle ring' chain tinkling.

It's the 1mm part and none of my cassette spacers are 'mm'

I'm moving my bottom bracket a few mm out as drive side will hit the frame, yet the non-drive side has some 0.5+ (more but I forget how much)
So will probably nick my HTII plastic one for that and put the silver ones on there, well that the plan as the plastic are black and don't really go between the silver of the external cup and red of the frame.

The 1mm is just to shim out the rear as it a M900 cassette and compact cassette so is loose.


Will take me ages to get to a LBS so internet is much easier.
The gusset seem to 'thick' for the bottom bracket.

May have to spend the £10, they do look nice but damn expensive for what they are.

Sounds more like the front mech needs aligning slighty

No, that's fine. Just that the spacing between my 32 and 42 rings is a bit on the thin side and the chain tinkles on the inside of the 42 ring and not on the cage.

Sure it's the chainring spacing and not just a too short bottom bracket to start with :? Especially as you're only in the middle at the back.

My front needs adjusting probably because the crank arm goes on a little to far on to the bottom bracket and I may be bodging it a little
