I have a 104mm axle at Evans. But if I get the SiSL2 arms it might be too skinny (they say it's not compatible). But if I order the full SiSL2 set from anywhere I get a 109mm axle with it so then I have both axles. But I still need the BB30 BB right?
Oh, Qwerty. Any non-ceramic BB kits out there?

If you get an axle you should get all the BB parts with it.
If you get an axle but no bearings and whatnot, then any BB30 BB kit (bearings, covers, wave washer, 1mm preload spacers) will work, although you might have to make the larger spacers yourself if you are fitting a 109mm axle to 68mm BB30 bottom bracket shell. Some headset spacers work for this.

Not sure if Cannondale do a 'non ceramic' kit, but they can be had from SRAM, Token etc but you won't get the cannondale specific parts with them.

BB30 bearings are just a standard 6806 industrial bearing cartridge

If you have to have 165mm arms then get them from anywhere you can find them because the mothership either doesn't have any or is not making enough to get many in to retail.
If price is a consideration then the difference between Si Hollowforged and SiSL2 is a few grams and a bit of lazer etching
You only really need the axle out of all of that lot - bearings, covers, wavey washers and spacers are all interchangable from other BB kits.
And you only need the axle if it turns out your chainstays are too wide to run the Si arms with the 104mm axle you have.
Qwerty seems to have the complete BB kit though. UK seller and nice guys.
