It's either too tight or makes contact. This is a bummer as I have a set of SISL2s I planned on trying to make work.
I finally got out on my second ride and rode 8 miles of grade 2 gravel today. Very smooth and comfortable, more so at speed. I did have one issue that cut my ride short, a slipping seatpost. No matter how tight I screwed the bolt, it'd slip an inch in less than a 1/4 mile. Turns out the builder used regular grease rather than carbon assembly paste, and a lot of it. Now I have the PITA job of trying to remove a ton of polylube. I'm hoping paste will cure this as I've not had any issues with the wedge bolt system.
jrod88, you can run a crank based power meter with AXS on a PF30-83 , it just kinda hard and you have to hack it together. SRAM built a special crank for the BB but they are SUPER DUPER hard to find.
Step 1, buy a carbon SRAM BB30 8-bolt crank. Step 2, buy a SRAM AXS Force/Red 4-bolt power meter. Step 3, buy a 125mm hollowgram spindle. Step 4, remove the spindle on the 8-bolt crank from the non-drive crank arm. (The bolt says “Do Not Remove” but you can do it with a long breaker bar and a dead blow hammer.) Step 5, reuse the bolt from the 8-bolt non-drive crank arm and install the 125mm spindle. Step 6, install crank, with PF30 BB, and AXS power meter.
So it’s difficult but doable with the right tools and parts.
