maybe this is normal for other SRAM chainsets
It is. The spline should be an interference fit, so it should take a reasonable amount of torque to drive it home. The instructions say 48-54Nm, and also suggest that even 54Nm may not get it all the way home (where it traps the NDS bearing and eliminates end float) at the first attempt.

Trying to fit a Stages Rival crank arm onto a SRAM S300 Courier crank.
The original courier LH arm tightens by hand.
The Rival still has play when hand tightened.
I need to buy a 1/2 inch socket set for my torque wrench tomorrow.
I don't want to go ape with it now but it strikes me as odd.
Could I be missing something? I've only ever handled the S300 but maybe this is normal for other SRAM chainsets and when I get a big torque wrench on it, it'll be fine(?).
