Building up a Boardman ADV gravel bike, going to swap the Prowheel BB and chainset with a Shimano HT II BB and RX600 one. The Prowheel has a spacer on the non-driveside crank.

Should I carry that over to the GRX600 chainset or not needed? The dealer's manual for GRX600 doesn't mention any spacers.

Ta. I read up on it last night. All to do with MTB chainsets on a 68mm 'road' shell it seems, so 5mm of spacers are needed. Found the instructions for the Prowheel chainset last night too, has the spacers. In fact, according to those I was missing a spacer on the drive side.

Anyway, will try with none when the GRX turns up.
