Depends if your frame is symetrical or not. In my case (g056) I put them on non drive side

I have the G068, but not sure if it is symmetrical or not. But did you also have a hard time getting the crank through the BB? If it slid eaay i could trial and error with the spacers to see what makes sense. But I had to hammer with a rubber mallet. Also getting it out again when I saw the gaps was same struggle.

For it was pretty obvious when turning the frame upside down. Mark the middle of the frame with down tube as reference and measure the distance between this point and each BB face. If symetrical, I would put tge 3-4mm spacer on non drive side and and the 1-2 mm on drive side (if the preload ring is able to pressure on it.

Having said that, I am no bike mechanic, I go with what is logical to me… lol

Thank you for helping! I am quickly finding out I am definitive not a bike mechanic (first bike build..).

Got the crankset on, but now when mounting the back wheel I see the disc brake is too far from the rotor (160mm).

I have used the zrace XG rotor with a spacer for 160mm rotor like i used on the fork. Anyone had similar issue?

from what i can see this is a direct mount frame on the back so without the spacer everything should work fine.

guess I'll twiddle my thumbs patiently. basically the rest of my parts have been delivered from ali express (I ordered them a few days after ordering the frame) and I'm waiting on the frame to get here to do my build. Their website says about 15 days to get to the US. Got my hopes up... As long as it turns up and functions it'll be worth the wait.
