I have the same setup on same bike. Actually, the Quarq was on a couple prior bikes and endured countless abuse without a hitch https://www.instagram.com/p/CJyalcTlBfN/

Nice! It's been a treat to have so far and seems to live for the dust, mud, and water I have ridden it through within the past ~6mo of ownership.

Not what I'd call a consensus method, but there are some 46/30 chainrings that fit 110 BCD cranksets using a combination of changing the mounting bolts and offsetting the chainline to the inside. I'm using these ones from BikinGreen on Ebay on a Quarq DZero, and have no clearance or interference problems. They don't shift quite so fast as my normal road or cyclocross chainrings, but some of that's probably inevitable from the 16t gap. The offset chainline is fine, and frankly is pretty similar to some of the older touring/randonneur thinking about having the innermost ring as a granny gear that you only use with the lowest half or so of the cassette.

So which bottom bracket do you order that with? I thought the trek had the BB90 bottom bracket and that is not an option for the Quark DUB versions? Or am I missing something?

Yup. I have a DZero Carbon on my cross bike. Absolutely bombproof and reliable.

BB86 DUB BB for my Checkpoint since I built up an ALR frame.

For the SL frame, you would have to run a GXP BB and crank since SRAM has not made a DUB BB that is BB90 compatible - I'm not sure they can do it which is why they haven't.

That's right the FSA is a rebadged Power2Max, I went with FSA because they have very good US based customer service in case I would ever need it (which so far thankfully I have not), but I did have some questions regarding different chainring compatibility, I called and got someone on the phone right away that was both very knowledgeable and very helpful.

Thanks. I am still trying to figure out BB standards.

Now I have a good idea on how I can add a QUark to my Checkpoint. Might give myself a little spring present to make the gravel training rides even more fun!
