Quick question, just got an Aldhu 24mm ctankset, and bit confused with the spacer/ O ring fitment.
By O ring, I mean the small gaskets they spec for fitment with the thin spacers for the 24mm axle.
Do the o rings go outboard of the spacers, or inboard? I'm probably missing something, as the Rotor documentation seems very good, but can't quite figure this one out...

Tip:
tighten the arm bolt most of the way, then (while pushing against the drive side firmly) hit the arm inward with a plastic/rubber hammer to make sure the arm is fully seated on the spines. A little Loctite green (same stuff you might use on BB bearings) is a good idea on the splines.
If you've got a Trek BB90, don't add the spacers, you'll just destroy the BB bearings in short order. If you follow Rotors instructions you'll ruin the NDS arm / spindle because the splines won't fully seat. They won't warranty it.

Isn't it dependent on the BB you have. Not an expert, but I think I used the chart at: https://rotoramerica.com/pages/crankset-support

Cheers. I think it's gone ok
It's regular BB86 and it's seems it's gone on ok initially with the preload ring backed right off. I guess if it beds-in and loosens a bit, then I can dial some preload on before re-torquing.
It's going to be on the turbo for the foreseeable anyway, so I guess if it falls off, I'm only zero meters from home!

would that not be 'inboard', of the spacers then?
