So have now got an mt800 bottom bracket that screws into my 1990 timberline but I think need some spacers as it is longer than the width of frame The frame is 68mm. The mt800 only came with 1 small spacer. Do you know how I can make it work?

@@epexlinux the BB is usually 68-73 so should fit but you may need to find a couple more spacers for the off side. Look on eBay if you can’t get through bike shop

Does this derailer need an adaptor to fit onto an old GT frame? Also you mentioned some spacers for the crank? Any help would be apriciated.

@@epexlinux no the derailleur hanger is universal. You just need 51mm spacing chain line or if you convert and older square taper crank, mount the chainring where the middle chainring would go
