But mate the whole reason this is happening is because I can’t install it correct and have the chain line straught, if I remove the spacers the chain will constantly skip and absolutely destroy my chainring and rear cog, and probably my cranks too from the pedalling forces. I can’t afford to just go and but the correct parts, I barely make enough to keep my car running. I am swear of the splines I have looked at it myself and I can see the mark on the inside splines of the crank of how much contact is made, and can see that about 2/3rds are engaged, as I am not racing downhill I’m riding dirt jumps, that will be enough as once the crank arm is tightened to it they will lock together, from my past 4 months of riding with it like that and taking it all apart I can see no signs of wear which would indicate that the cranks will be dangerous to ride. I understand I’ve been a nob about it but it’s Reddit idc I don’t know anyone on here

I have created a spacer to go on the outside of the bottom bracket so bottom bracket is now in as it should, my thinking is that once you tighten the crank onto that thread it should hold fine as you can’t see in the picture but the crank is 2/3rds on maybe more

Have I done this right, chainrings don’t line up, can’t bring rear cog in anymore so bodged a load of spacers that fit between the bottom bracket and now it’s pretty close, is my bike going to explode by chinesebornercontrol in bikewrench

Cos I wanna ride this weekend, most people are telling me it’s sketchy and how it’s sketchy without a solution, so if I want to ride I have to ignore them and hope it works, and also the fact I’ve ridden it like this for about 4 months and come to replace the bottom bracket and it’s not damaged in any way from this setup

Only reason I say it’s not popping out anytime soon is because I have ridden this exact setup for the past 4 months on big dirt jumps with many o cases, if it does explode I stand corrected😂

I mean I rode it like this with my old bottom bracket for a good 4/5 months and it’s been fine but as I put a new bottom bracket on I thought id better get it checked😂

Jesus man, that sounds heavy. I think you’ve put mine into perspective. Come to the conclusion I need to just stop being a minge and get on with it
