Alright stage 2 folks, how many of these new spacers should I have on there. I thought it was one, but two came. Just want to be sure. Anyone confirm?

Thank you!My D1X only has one, but I am a 17 so don't know if that plays a role.
Thanks!Just for the record your caliper is not near accurate enough for measuring the crank and hub. You need precision down to 4 decimal places.... also a bore micrometer to get accurate measurements rather than standard slide caliper.
No offense, but this is classic what I call installer error on the snapped cranks threads/posts. It is not a shade tree mechanic procedure.
I don't want you or anyone else to think I don't appreciate the support and guidance. You are entirely right and the precision that is often required is overlooked due to lack of knowledge, time, money, etc.. I'm an intelligent person with a fair amount of success under my belt, but I'm not immune to stupidity and brashness on occasion.Some instructions I wrote out for a guy a while back.
I don’t know what is needed for that setup. I made my own shim to the exact thickness to perfectly line up the pulley with the others. Put one on and put a straight edge on the pulley and see how it lines up with the idler and other pulleys.Thanks!
Do you happen to know the answer to the shim and pulley torque questions?
With the included spacer in there they should be able to rotate independently of each otherCan I get a confirmation that these two idler pullies touch and don't spin independently of each other? I feel like this is a chance for extra heat and squealing, but maybe it's fine if they touch and spin as one unit across two belts?
Thank you for the fast response! Mine do not. The outside circumference of the pullies actually touch. I'll see if a little washer of the right diameter gets me there.With the included spacer in there they should be able to rotate independently of each other
Absolutely do not touch, mine has like an 1/8inch between them!! Sorry I was late to the party, but figured I would give ya what mine is.Can I get a confirmation that these two idler pullies touch and don't spin independently of each other?

Thanks for confirming. I'm trying to sort it out. I've tried the pulley both ways now. One way is better than the other but it seems like it touches either way, it's odd. Wonder if the bearing of the factory idler is offset somehow.Absolutely do not touch, mine has like an 1/8inch between them!! Sorry I was late to the party, but figured I would give ya what mine is.
