Installing Sram Omniums. I have always used a Chris King BB with mine, but the BB is creaking and clunking so am replacing it with a Sram GPX BB.
Chris King use a weird spring washer for bearing preload. The Sram BB has no such preload device, is it really as simple as put mount the BB cups to the frame (and copperslip the threads) insert cranks (greasing the crank spindle) and then tighten up the crank bolt? How do you ensure there is no play at the BB, or that the bearing preload is not over done?
