Spanish BB Length
cmc4130:
Same question just came up on a different forum and a Google search brought me back here. What's weird is that Profile's website now has a tube spacer for Spanish listed as
1.985" (which converts to 50.419mm) rather than the typical 48mm tube spacer for a 68mm bb shell.

Oh profile is being so profile. You know them...

I got MID 68 and the same frame next season with 73mm. Bigger tyres, wider bb could help to move chainstays another 2.5mm each side. Same story with Spanish? Anyway I saw also custom Spanish bb that was CNC deeper by mistake or so (I had to cut 48mm to 46mm). You can always throw inside a 1-2mm washers to avoid preload/sideload on bearings and give them support.

I hate tube spacers, they never fit nicely. Be glad it was too short, and not too long. I have had problems with BBs for like 10 years and the biggest annoyance is having too long tube spacers, had to go to a machine shop to get it cut nicely.
After all my troubles I have collected an impressive amounts of tube spacers that I can chose from when buying a new frame.

someone should make an adjustable length bb spacer, kind of like the colony adjustable headset one
