Ive had my spectral a few years now, I'm on my 3rd BB but I'm not sure the 2 replacements (after the original) have been right, they have worked but I have a spacer on the non drive side which the internal diameter is bigger than the crank shaft axle so does not sit central unless you hold it as you tighten - it's hard to get perfect and I feel it needs to be otherwise it's going to tighten unequally and work it's way loose.

I can't remember there being a spacer on the original, this is one of the few things I leave to a bike shop so'd hope it's right but I'm not sure..

Hopefully the images show the issue;


(Hopefully shows it not sitting centrally)

It doesn't look right, have a look on Sram's site for the details of your crank-set and there should be a compatibility chart which shows which BB's to use, I have found their website pretty good for technical help, also Canyon were quick to help me when I had a query about my Ultimate so might be worth emailing them as well. I bought a new derailleur hanger from them and it arrived within a week.

Thanks, I'll have a look on SRAM's site, see what I can find. I was going to email canyon to see if they could advise on what was the original BB fitted.
