Looking to fit a Rotor 3D+ crankset to my bike with a Power2max power meter. The crankset is BB30 and so is my frame. I currently have a Sram Force BB30 crankset installed on it and was wondering if I need to use the specific Rotor BB30 bottom bracket or can I use my existing BB30 bottom bracket ?

    Existing BB30 is fine. You'll need the spacers on both sides (these come with the crank).

    hmmm, may not be that simple. The seal washers on the Rotor BB30 are thinner than the FSA ones. First install crank didn't spin freely. I was able to re-use the bearings but had to change the bearing seals from FSA to Rotor ones - which I luckily had lying around.

    You did check you'd fully released the pre-load adjuster before installing?
