good bottom bracket should has manual and come to you with a few spacer. On manual everything is expanded. I ordered crank but not haven't installed yet. In attachment instruction from my manual.


Exactly this.  My BB came with a similar chart.  For Shimano road cranks it recommended no spacers.  If I added 2mm of spacers on each side that was recommended for DUB road wide cranks.

Would you recommend it for 24mm version + the powermeter? I am assembling new bike, as the previous one it has BB86, I was running 30mm spindle in it and it is clearly bad, so for now I am transferring to cheap 3-bolt interface 24mm spindle crankset where I could accomodate my p2max, but considering some lighter 24mm options as a future upgrade.
Usually you check for distance from the centre of the bike and check for lateral play.

I don’t have a good answer for you.  I have a power meter pedals.

I have the 24m version with xcadey spider power meter, and there is no problems with alignment or anything.
What's your BB?

But how do I know that I need more spacers? Or I have too many installed?

(93mm - (your measured BB external width) )/2 each side, remembering the preload ring counts for 0.5mm.

My BB width (outside of cup to outside of cup) was 90mm with a ht2 BB. So 93-90=3. I put 1.5 ds, 1 NDS, then nipped 0.5 with the preload ring.

Fwiw, I kept them and got a partial for the false advertising of the spindle length. I'll use them on a gravel bike.

And yes my spider is out of true, although not so bad it contacts the mech cage so it'll just wear out the chainrings if I don't replace it.

Wintermute, I’m down to 1.5mm in spacers on each side after replacing the spider.  Two spiders out of true, on two seperate cranksets.  Totally worth replacing with a Stone spider.  Did a quick 1hr ride the other day after replacing the spider.  Absolutely made me feel better about the purchase.

Interesting. How much % if you don’t mind me asking.

Also, thanks for your instruction. Why do you say 93 if your measured width was about 96?
