Hi everyone,

I bought a used Sram Red Quarq to use with my Dengfu FM029.
The frame is with a BSA BB so i went along and bought a Rotor BSA 30 Bottom bracket.

The install went well buth i can't seem to find the amount of washers to use on either side of the crankset.
When i bought it, it came with 2 aluminum washers and a wavey washer.
At this moment i installed it with only the wavy washer on the NDS. It spins freely and doesn't seem to have some play on either side.
Still i am wondering if this is the correct installation. I found some information on the internet buth it's very mixed about my crank, a real Sram BB30, rotor Cranks...

Can someone here give me some good advice.

Fyi this is the crank i have: https://www.sram.com/sram/road/products ... r-10-speed

You kinda just have to experiment a bit. You want the wavy washer to be partially compressed, not fully when you torque the crankarm to spec.

I got a PDF from quarq itself.
I could send it to you if you pm me your mail.

In the end the quarq was a removable spider so i bought some gxp force cranksarms with removable spider and installed the quarq on those.

Thanks for the offer, but I just did the trial and error method and got there eventually.
