Cheers Chaps,
I was thinking about not using the shim but I I read somewhere that it was to stop pinching the bearings and only being used to the old school BB I thought it must be needed , but it seems to me it's more trouble than it is worth.
I think I'm gonna take it out, if I can get one of the cups out!
I've got the top hat washer on 'behind' the spider, is that right ? I've then got to suss out where where to put all the others !!
Cheers
Andy.
