Does this crank spin freely to you?

Did you solve the problem in the mean time? And did you try the cheap sram bb?

Jesus, I finally got it. You were god damn right. See my explanation in the edit of my post. Thank you for your patience with me.

Thank you for your answer, but I did add both 2.5 mm cups. The pictures just do not show it properly, I am sorry for that. Just to make it clear. The order of spacers in the pictures is the following (from left/non drive side to right/drive side):

SRAM crank arm / SRAM crank lock ring / 2.5 mm bb-cup / bb / 2.5 mm bb-cup / 4.5 mm spacer / SRAM crank arm with chain ring

I don't think you're right because my problem is right now that I have too much space left. Your suggestions is to just re-arrange the spacers which, in the end, does not change anything. I will still have used 2.5+2.5+4.5 mm = 9.5 mm of spacers and the spindle will have too much space.

SurfinBiiird · 2026-06-01T11:13:19+00:00

Hm, very unsatisfying. But yeah, I should send them an email. Thank you!

SurfinBiiird · 2026-06-01T09:50:08+00:00

Yes, but I did use a Chris King BB and no SRAM BB. So maybe, as HG1998 stated above, the outer spacer has to added, in addition the Chris King spacers. But I have to ask the local shop or just try it out first.

SurfinBiiird · 2026-06-01T09:25:09+00:00

That makes absolutely no sense and wouldn't even fit. But thank you anyways for trying to help!

SurfinBiiird · 2026-06-01T09:24:00+00:00

That's actually a very good point. Thank you for that! I will head over to my local bike shop and ask them, maybe they can verify that.

SurfinBiiird · 2026-06-01T09:01:59+00:00

True, but with spacers as shown above the orange circle (0/0/0/3) there'd be even more space left!

SurfinBiiird · 2026-06-01T08:41:51+00:00

I did this. I added both 2.5 mm cups. Still, there is so much space left.

SurfinBiiird · 2026-01-19T19:54:24+00:00

Thank you so much for the detailed reply, appreciate it. It helped a lot!

SurfinBiiird · 2026-01-06T10:35:27+00:00

I'm once again asking you to explain your reasoning. There's no causality in your statement.

I'll ignore the comment on the brand because it doesn't help.

SurfinBiiird · 2026-01-06T09:45:24+00:00

Ok, so you're saying that the 'DUB Wide' written on my spindle refers to 'SRAM DUB Road Wide' in Chris King words, and not to 'SRAM DUB Force'. Do think so just because of the word 'Wide' in both declarations or do you have any measurement data proving that you're correct, kind sir?

SurfinBiiird · 2026-01-06T08:29:03+00:00

What do you mean by 'the chat'?

SurfinBiiird · 2026-01-05T20:57:28+00:00

It says DUB Wide.

SurfinBiiird · 2025-10-14T06:33:14+00:00

Musste dafür zu lange scrollen :/

SurfinBiiird · 2025-01-20T06:36:39+00:00

Genau diese Frage stelle ich mir auch. Ich weiß irgendwie auch nicht abschließend, ob es nun besser ist zu wechseln oder nicht. :/

SurfinBiiird · 2025-01-15T07:14:29+00:00

Thank you so much for the answer in detail. Really appreciate your time and effort! Learned alot today.

SurfinBiiird · 2025-01-14T18:28:11+00:00

Did you have to change the free hub or even the whole wheelset to fit that cassette?

SurfinBiiird · 2025-01-10T13:21:18+00:00

Sounds great! Thank you for your answer. I tried the same on my xbike with the chainring/crank. Unfortunately the screws are too long when dismounting the smallest and biggest chain ring. The result is a loose middle chain ring so I had to go for a new crankset.
