My new XT crankset and bottom bracket arrived yesterday. I am increasing the chainring size from 44T to 48T as well as moving up a notch or two in type.
I have read the install instructions a couple of times. The BB can be used on both width hubs and has a set of washers/spacers which are used differantly for BB type. Three types are listed and I don't have a clue what they are or how to ID which I have. I have a Trek 6500 MTB. the three BB hub types that Shimano lists are: "Band", "Chaincase Stay Type", and "Bracket". Does anyone know what these terms mean and or how I can tell the one I have?
thanks,
Mark
