Shimano BB question : UN72 v UN72E

[markoc]

Quick one for the RB brains - what's the difference between a UN72 and a UN72E?

Just found a UN72 to fit what I need, but on receipt it is an "E" (which to be fair is what it was advertised as) - is that going to give me a problem?

Thx

Made for E-mount front mechs so slightly wider than 68mm width so you will need a spacer to make it work.

Just use a ht2 2.5mm BB spacer with it instead of an e type front mech

I'm running singlespeed - so not going to be a problem then?

Edit - thanks for the quick replies!

Ah, no - idiot. The e type goes round the BB doesn't it... hence the need for an equivalent spacer. e type has passed me by (unless its a Jag, and then its a different matter). Spacers seem cheap online so I'll get one ordered
