Just fitted a Sram Force chainset and cant get the cranks tight. I followed the their advice to tighten to max torque 53 NM and remove and regrease if any play. However after 6 attempts there is still some play. Its a threaded GXP BB. Any suggestions?

    I had the same with SRAM apex. Gave up in the end with the team cups and used the Apex BB, this tightened up no probs, without any play.
