Quarq D Zero Dub compatibility and a question about BBright BBs
Hi all -
Two questions:
1/ Does anyone know if the Quarq D Zero Dub powermeter can be used with a 12 speed eTap AXS groupset as well? This one:
https://www.quarq.com/product/quarq-dzero-dub-spider/
It says "Compatible with 10 and 11 speed chainrings" - but doesnt say anything about whether it can be used with 12 speed as well.
2/ I have gotten a SRAM BBright/DUB bottom bracket for my R5 build. This one has plastic cups, and i will be getting it installed at a place that does work with high-end bikes, but which hasnt done a lot of work on Cervelo. Given the reported issues with BB creak and tolerances, i am having second thoughts about this particular BB and am wondering if i should get one with Al cups. What do you guys say - would installing the plastic cups and possibly having a poor fit make the tolerances worse? Or should I give it a go as is, and swap if need be?
TIA.

I don't think there are any 12 speed AXS chainrings available yet for that 5 bolt setup. You basically have 2 options for a Dub Quarq power meter. The Red AXS crankset or the Force version with removable chainrings. As far as the BB options, Wheels MFG makes a BBright to Dub BB that's a 2 piece system with aluminum cups that thread together. I've had really good luck with Wheels MFG BB's

Re chainrings, wouldnt these work, along with the matching 35t smaller ring?
X-CarboRing 48 x 110 X-AXS - X-CarboRing - Chainrings - Products
I am hoping that in the new 5-6 months, someone will have released a more traditional - and more reasonably priced - chainring, but in principle, a chainring pair like this 48/35 should work, right?
