Do I need to add a bottom bracket spacer if there is still some lateral play on my 3D24 cranks when the pre-tension screw is bottomed out?
It's a Shimano MT800 bottom bracket without spacers in a 68mm BSA shell.
Now I type it out it seems very obvious, but a sanity check would be nice.
I've a 5mm spacer on a 68mm shell for my 3d+ cranks. Seemed massive at the time but there you go...
You shouldn't but your BB shell might be out of spec in which case a BB spacer is the correct answer. Which side or sides it should go on would be a different question...
