 How did you put a 73 mm bb size Xt cranks to a 83 mm bb frame ?
  • 1 0
 It's the touring version of the older XT craankset. So it comes with larger chainrings and a slightly wider axle. I had to grind the granny tabs off, and make my own 1.5mm axle spacer so it could clear it the frame with a reasonable distance (I'm talking like MAYBE 4mm clearance from crankarms on either side of seat stays) I'm still working on making it 100% good to go though ;]

 why don't you just do the bb mount and not hack up the boomerang trying to get it to fit iscg05?

 No bb spacers for XT mod.

 I thought I remembered you saying something about how putting your Totem on the M6 would be blasphemous...
  • 1 0
 Isn't it? Even though it has a taller axle-2-crown than a 2010 Boxxer...
  • 1 0
 they look better with a totem then they do with a 40 or a boxxer lol that thing is sick.
  • 1 0
 2010 Boxxer in black is going to look incredible.
  • 2 0
 more like a black 40.
  • 1 0
 I'm putting a white 40 on it today... We'll see how it looks ;]
  • 1 0
 im sure it will look just as good I like the totem on there though but I agree its more of a downhill bike.

 Iggz you've out done your self. Phenomenal looking bike, though I second how you fit those cranks?
  • 1 0
 Touring version. Shave the granny tabs to the max, and remove a spacer, I think. (Correct meh if im wrong)

 Did they have that option with the older style XT cranks? under the impression that it was only the newer ones.
  • 1 0
 I think m761's were the first year they started doing that... and these cranks are pretty old. I think they have a solid 4 years of riding on them, Shimano quality!! And thanks man, now I just need a fork... and bawls to drill my carbon MRP backplate
