I know I'm probably doing something wrong here. I'm used to square tapers and this is new to me.
I've installed my bb cups. Got all three spacers on to take it from 68mm to 73mm. It's a cheapy Truvelo job. It came with a couple of plastic top hat bushes which have simply mangled up when trying to get them in. Bit crap, looks like I'll have to make some more. However, when the cranks are in, there's about 5mm gap and there's no way they'll tighten onto anything anyway. What's going on here? Race Face Deus cranks. Do they have their own proprietory bottom bracket or something?
Pics to help explain.
