FSA SL-K Crankset Road

FSA Mega Exo cranksets can have bolts that go through the spindle, or bolts that pinch the crank arms onto the spindle.

With the pinch bolt design, the spindle length can vary. A preload adjustment cap is used to take up slack, then the pinch bolts tightened in the exact location.

With the non pinch bolt design (NBD), an FSA Mega Exo bottom bracket needs to be used. This has a sleeve between the bearings, allowing the spindle bolts to crank down to spec without overloading the bearings.
