Hi, Fitting XTR cranks followed intructions - just want to double check I did it right.
I have a 68m bottom bracket so I put the two spacers on the drive side and one on the left - with the crank arm fitted there is a gap between crank arm and bearing - doesn't look right i.e. will let dirt in - and what does that adjustment nut do that sits inside the crank arm?
Thanks

What size spindle did you get?

There shouldn't be an obvious gap.

Hi, Thanks - found the answer and detailed intructions ( the shimano ones are basic) - looks like the adjusment nut is key.
