Ah, so the BB isn't 73mm? I thought because it was "MTB" BB as opposed to road it was already 73mm wide.

What should the BB measure externally when installed? 93mm?

It's for 68 or 73 BB shell and is spaced out to take the longer axle on MTB cranks. Road/grav have a shorter axle so only 68 with no spacers.

Yeah, I'm just confused because almost everything else I have uses 68mm stuff. Anyway the BB is installed (correctly) now but I still need a lockring tool for the DM crank spider. I may just try the other (2x) cranks out but maybe I'll just be lazy for a few days instead.
