Beware that the SRAM instructions (which are horrible just like Shimano's) incorrectly indicate the use of spacers. If you're installing these cups on a road bike with a road crank then don't use the included spacers! If you do, the entire crank will seize once you tighten it. The spacers are for MTB cranks on a 68mm setup only but the instructions do not make this clear.
Consequently, once you finish installing this on a road bike expect to have two spacers left. If you're installing on a MTB then expect to use one or both spacers (assuming diff MTB cranks require diff spacers). Oh, and do be very careful not to cross-thread the cups into your bottom bracket ;)

Coming from cartridge style bottom brackets, I was very pleasantly surprised at how light and smooth these are. Combined with the SRAM crank, it is a fantastic combination of smooth operation, very light weight and excellent stiffness.
