On the 73mm bb shell, only one 2.5mm spacer should be installed on the
drive side. The non-drive side should just be flush with the shell - see
page 11:

(The 1.8mm in the diagram is for bb-mounted bracket, hence the 0.7mm spacer

Yep, you ground a nice little divot out of that stem with the nut. Which annoys
me to no end because the nut shouldn't be spaced far enough away from the
surface to do that. Oy! But you've solved it by using a wrench on the nut so
c'est la vie. That's French!

Yes, Hollowtech II. The BB and crank are definitely both mountain — a part of
their XT lineup. And the Susie’s shell is actually 73mm. Apparently, the XT
cranks give a 48.8 chainline.
Extra shims were included with the BB, but I figured they were there for the
use with a 68

Yes, you’re right, they’re the 2.6 Honchos. Dropping down a size in the
back(2.4?) will probably be the easiest, most effective solution. It’s not
something I really want to do, though, so I’m going to hold out for another

I’ll keep you posted
You say it’s not square taper. Is it Hollowtech II? In that case, you may
have a road bike BB/crank where a mountain BB/crank might be required.
Rivs tend to come with a 68mm bottom bracket shell (the road standard), but
have a 135mm rear dropout width (an older mountain bike standard). The

Hello,
I've been building my Susie over the past couple of days, and just
discovered I've got an issue with the chain rubbing the rear tire when I'm

a square taper BB, and has more than 9 speeds, I'm out of my league.

That's the case with big frames and bar end shifters whether you route the
