Glad you said about that ceramic speed calculator thing, I been wondering if I want external or internal BB just noticed those as looking at Enduro XD 15, so know my other bike I made when only knew external so I brought a stage power meter and spindle smaller than need but PTFE washes inside so it don't crush the BB bearings
I am getting more and more confused hearing your suggestion about the option two Force power meter option. At the very beginning years ago, I thought I could add a seperate spider power meter onto this crankset, like you said option two the Sram Force. Later i learnt that the Red AXS chainring set is a one piece assembly. To add a power meter, the entire chainring set needs to be retired and you have to buy a new chainring set with a spider-based power meter integrated on it. The only thing you can re-use is your crank arms.
Thanks for the great videos. Helped me install the same sram red crankset and cassette on my sl7. Question for you- when I spin the pedals backwards and I’m in my 3 largest gears on the cassette, the chain skips. Did you experience any chain skipping or alignment issues with yours?
I didn't know the non drive side needed a spacer for the ceramicspeed bb. Let us know how it goes. I hope to get a ceramicspeed bb for my Tarmac sometime this year.

I could do that…

The force/red spider power meter was an option (I had it) but I don’t think they make it anymore. Now it’s a one piece unit with chainrings.

Never had any issues with that, but I imagine it’s not”perfectly” tuned if that’s happening.

Will do!
These are by far the ugliest bicycle cranks ever made!
Cool.
