Bottom Bracket, Cranks, Chainline
I installed an SRAM PF30 BB and Eagle GX 32t crankset.
The cups pressed in without issue. I pressed drive side first, then non-drive. After drive side was pressed, I put the spindle through and checked for concentricity with the shell. Pleased to say it *looked* spot on. I removed the spindle/crank and pressed the non-drive cup. The spindle fit straight through both bearings quite easily.
Cups were pressed in dry. I guess i'll see if there's any creaking.
I used the thicker 3mm spacer included with the cranks on the drive side and no spacer on the non-drive side. This yielded a 51mm chainline (49.5 + 1/2 thickness of 3mm chainring). I'll see how this chainline shifts and adjust if necessary.
All this to say, I don't have any concerns about the bottom bracket cranks install on this frame.
