cotic BFE hope bottom bracket spacers ?(how many do i need?)

[robin]

hi all. i am just do a frame swap on to a cotic bfe. my previous frame had a 68bb shell fitted with hope bb with 2 spacers and a chain guide, the cotic has a 73mm shell. so how many spacers should i use with the hope bb?

any advice would be greatly received.

thanks robin

It's 73mm shell so one on drive - unless you need to fiddle chain line to run 1X10, where you might want to use a few 0.5mm spacers instead.

Great choice of bike btw. I can't bring myself to ride anything else than my BfE right now.

Forgot to say - if you're using chain guide you won't need the spacer.
