That's a fuckload of grease for those splines (and yeah, I noticed it's the Shimano stuff, fancy) - did you smoosh it in and bugger off the excess before fitting the crank, or are you riding around with most of that between the crank and BB?
Kimmo-
It's factory grease that I just boshed the crank through to see if it fit.
Why would a spacer be required on a stock 73mm install, is it coz these are newer cranks in an older BB? Looks to be about 50mm on each side of BB but cranks aren't installed coz I don't have tool to tighten DM chainring.
I've got older style M6000 2x cranks too. I could try them. Do they also need a spacer?
hippy
Well, the 36T clears and the cranks look like they fit properly without any spacers (fck you and your new standards, world)
So, any reason I shouldn't install a new chain, ride to the LBS and get this lockring tightened?
Neither shop had the tool. #sadface
