I just bought the 170mm lg1r cranks for my evil undead, i also purchase the 83mm TiNi e13 bb. The spindle is the 123mm and not the 113mm so I know that is not the issue.
I installed as per the instructions.
Greased the threads for the BB. Since it was 83mm I put one black plastic spacer on the drive side bb for installation and none on the non-drive side. I then installed the driveside crank arm and had almost all 100% of the red polygon spindle sitting out as stated in the manual. I greased up the outside of the spindle and inside, mounted it with no spacers, to get the measurement of how many spacers is needed. It was 3 spacers needed, I replaced one spacer with the metal spring spacer. I installed the metal spring spacer, followed by 2 spacers and put the crank arm on. THIS IS WHERE I RUN INTO A PROBLEM: It did not seem to spin freely. So I removed one spacer and tighten and it spun only a tad more freely, but still not as easily as it should. If I tighten more then it will almost not spin at all. When I go out and ride it in my driveway it seems like there is some play in it when I mash down on the cranks.
I have looked for forum posts and went to e13 website for the video to which none of that offered any help. Any ideas? If I cannot get it sorted I will just return and by something else which I dont want to do because these are sick and light for not being carbon. Thanks!
