Hello,
I recently decided to restore an old bike I had lying around so that I could ride with my son. I'm installing a shimano MC 361 Acera crankset on a UN55 68/122.5 bottom bracket. After attaching the left crank arm I noticed a rather large gap between the arm and the bracket.
[attachment=3188]
Is this normal. Looking at another bike I am using for reference the gap appears to be less than 1/4 inch. On the one with the new parts it is 1/2" or more. I have included a picture. This is my first project and just want to make sure I have missed anything.
Thanks for the Help.
