Apologies for the incomplete reply earlier.. I wasn't at a PC. I stumbled across a related link on the Cervelo forum and thought I'd share more complete info. There are at least two manufacturers of GXP->BBRight adapters, and they are listed below. NOTE: The wheels mfg link states that the R5CA BB is different than the other BBRights and that their kit will NOT work. I confirm I have the Enduro kit, and it looks/feels great installed as noted earlier - with only one spacer/cap - the drive side.
From Cervelo forum:

Enduro (alloy option):

Hi perullo,
Could you post technical specs of the R5ca you ride? I am a recent owner who has come up against seemingly unscalable crank-BBright wall (I live in India, which significantly cripples my access to brands like Rotor). Can I mount a 172.5mm-long-spindle SRAM Red on a BBright frame? Thanks.

Yes. 172.5 isn't the spindle length. It is the crank arm length and has no bearing with compatibility with any other components besides rider preference. The spindle length is standard on all gxp cranks. You'll want to confirm if your sram red crank is a gxp spindle. If so, the note and adapter I mentioned will work. If not, find out what type it is (I believe the only other option may be BB30) and find the proper adapter for that (likely from the same web sites/links I posted).

Thanks for clearing that up. The spindle length isn't that of a GXP crank, alas. It fits a regular BB30 bottom bracket. There is simply no way the spindle can be extended to fit a 79mm direct fit bottom bracket, I'm afraid. I'll have to wait till a Rotor 3D+ becomes available in this country (or pray for the benevolence of a continent-hopping friend).
