European Bottom Bracket Install Step 7

Now take a breather. The next few steps will make for a sure shot fit, right the first time. Install your cups and a spacer you choose on the crank spindle. Place the spindle with cups pressed against the sleeve, over the underside of the bottom bracket shell of the frame. You can see here this sleeve allows the cups to be in a position too far inward, evident by the cups resting on the shell. This install would cause the bearings to bind when the crank arms are installed as there will be no force from spindle sleeve against the bearings in the opposite direction.
