    Bike24 replied to my inquiry and said that they sent me the right model (Sram road), which apparently doesn't come with spacers (hmmmmmm) ["Road bike BBs usually don't come with spacers"].

    Okay, so I visited two bike shops and both said that this particular CK BB would not fit my Sram Omnium, as I have play/clearance in any direction on the NONDRIVESIDE. Basically just as if you'd try to use the CK Shimano BB with a TAPERED Sram spindle: it won't work! Both also believed that this wouldn't even be the "Sram road" version... Because my CK BB also lacks this typical Sram tooth cap: http://r2-bike.com/bilder/produkte/gross/Truvativ-SRAM-GXP-Specialized-OSBB.jpg I mean, the Omnium stock BB has that and it fits on the spindle perfectly on the NONDRIVESIDE.

    I think I need a CK BB which comes at least with this toothcap... as an indicator that it could work out :D
    Not even sure if I can return my CK BB now as it has some visible marks left from the installation & deinstallation (using my old stock BB again ... for now) -_____-

    Basic Road BB comes plain i guess.. You need stepped axle road BB from Chris King to fit Omniums. Lazy to upload pic.. fitted mine CK stepped axle bb to omniums today.. left out the adaptor washer for the non drive side (was shown on installation guide) as it made crank spider touch chainstay..so without it bb fitted perfectly nice and tight.
