OK so I found 3x 2.5mm BB spacers in my box of bits, here you can see the position with 1x 2.5mm spacer on each BB cup. I know I’m supposed to use 2x spacers on the DS but, for chainline’s sake, does it really matter if I don’t when there’s plenty of NDS lockring thread engagement to take up the slack? Or is this a ‘cycling 101’ type breach of etiquette?
If you were using Shimano cranks then omitting one of the spacers might mean the pre load bolt bottomed out on the axle before actually pre loading the bearings but if the ‘Burns have enough adjustment to take up the extra space then go for it.
