Anyone had any luck with this setup? Trying to get this going for a customer, we used the howitzer bb designed to run a 55-57mm chainline. This guide should run on 73mm etype. The problem is with the e13 adapter installed and the smallest number of spacers required to clear the infamous pivot lug at the left hand shell- the bearings bind when the cranks are installed. Basically we have 1.5mm spacer to clear lug and 2mm of iscg. 73 e-type is 75.5mm, we are at 76.5mm- bees dick in it.

Surely sram has a solution for this? Though I see old cranks on the website photo bikes.... :cool:

Got the ok to shave the lig of the frame using a BB facing tool. Worked well. :)
