I have an IA16 and wanted to replace the FSA Omega crankset and go shorter crank lengths. Assuming a BB30, I purchased a SRAM Force 22 crankset. I went through the install manual and looked like I had everything I needed to bolt it on (large spacer DS, preload adjuster NDS). There is way too much movement in the crank laterally. I asked SRAM if I'm missing additional spacers and the only thing they asked me is if I also have a SRAM BB30. Did I overlook this part and need to have also purchased a SRAM specific BB30? Seems inconvenient to purchase a crankset for a BB30 and it not fitting a BB30...confused - any insight on what I should do?

SRAM does not follow the BB30 standard across its line. Some of their cranks have longer spindles that are more like FSA's MegaEXO standard. The problem is, SRAM calls them all BB30.

I have a SRAM Red 22 BB30, and that one is actually a BB30. I have read posts that SRAM's "BB30" cranks with removable spiders are the ones with the long spindles. I have also read that the Force & Rival cranksets have the long spindles. I am not sure the truth, but you will need a spacer for your BB30 crankset with the extra long spindle.

i found a nice project on the web for a drinking system

anyone using this ?

Does anyone have a favorite bike case for their IA FRD? I have the 2015 model, and I'm hoping to find a hard case that requires as little dismantling as possible regarding handlebars, brakes,etc. I'm definitely willing to pay more for an easier shipping process... Thank you!

Felt IA Wizards: looking for some help on frame size. I’m super confused. I’m trying to figure out my options between a IA vs. IAxx and which one is the better choice.

Pad stack 537
Pad reach 462 (to center of pads)
Saddle height 698 (on 165 cranks, which was the fitter’s recommendation and what was on the fit bike)

All this done in a Retul fit last year, and clearly it puts me aggressively low. The Felt calc goes blank when I put these numbers in; I tried to chat/email them but I’m still waiting for a response.

My inseam is about 30”, I’m 5’6” and when I’m in good shape I’m around 150lb, I could get lighter if I try. I swear it worked before and put me on a 51 IAxx but now I can’t get it to work. A 48 frame seems absurdly low. But would I still be on a 51 if I went with an IA w/ integrated front end? If yes, would I do an undermount setup to get the low?

I’m not opposed to either option, obviously I want the cleanest setup. I’ve got Vuka Alumina clips with undermount option and Evo 110 extensions now, but I don’t have to keep them and I would probably get an Aeria stem and TriRig brakes if I did go the IAxx route.

Anyone who can help with fit options? I don’t have a ton of time to get to bike shops so I’m trying to do my research ahead of time. I found Another couple posters with similar saddle height and reach but not stack at 535-540 like mine. Again, a 48 seems crazy, or maybe I am.
