It is to keep the bearings straight in the bottom bracket. Otherwise they can be over tightened and "cave in", putting more pressure on the bearings.

hahahahhahah lol it's to actually allow your cranks to be tighten enough and the inner races of the bearings have something to press on with, to ensure your bearings won't get crushed radially/axially....:dunno:

I'm an idiot. honestly never cared what it was for,just knew it was some what important.

pretty sure the tube spacer has nothing to do with how good your bearings work,always thought is was to protect the middle of your spindle from rust. Like how the inside of your frame will rust a little and obviously moisture could get to the spindle and rust it making it near impossible to get the spindle back out. happened to my buddy once with profiles and had to drill the spindle out but he also never took care of the bike and left it outside im sure.
