I used SRAM GXP BB and and a Hope GXP with a 10spd Force, Force 1 and Rival 1 cranks. The Rival one has a pretty wide Q-fatcor. I've heard of similar issues with FSA cranks as well. I ended up using a Shimano CX50 crankset and it clears just fine. Hope to get it cabled and fork cut down soon. I'm also going 1x and 650b.

Btw, the rear TA is definitely a 12mm x 163mm with a thread pitch of 1.5.
build sounds epic, pls post pics

I emailed Poseidon and Luis said that 172.5 would likely rub. Did not discuss Q... I was gonna buy FSA gossamer pro cuz it's cheap and light. Not sure of its Q factor
