Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Sram Red GXP crank on a Cervelo S5

Hi,
I'm trying to install a Sram Red GXP crank on a Cervelo S5 2014 with a Wheels Manufacturing Bottom Bracket but I have a hard time compressing the wave washer enough that it's almost flat. The Wheels Mfg installation guide says to add some cup spacer on the non drive side but if I do that, my chainring is rubbing against my chainstay. Should I add spindle spacers instead ? On which side ?
Thanks for the help.
Marc

This is the guide for the BBRight to GXP adapter. There is no wave washer.

Or are you talking about this one?

Do you have the outer dust cover seal on the spindle between the wave washer and DS bearing?

There's a mechanic subforum here, you should try asking your question in there (or maybe a nice mod can move it for you).
