Put them together fairly fastidiously, googling exactly what position the chainrings should be in relation to the arms, and where the arms should be in relation to the spider. Then spent ages trying to figure out what spacers I need and having a mild freak-out that I'd have to order some for £20. That's £20 for two thin circles of aluminium! Happily, I don't think I need any at all.
Then I had another mild freak-out thinking I'd lost one of the bottom bracket's dust seals... but found it still attached to the other cranks in the spares box.
I don't have a torque wrench that goes past 25 nm so they're not 100% correct, but they're good enough for me to get on with cabling if I feel the inclination.
Now I'm stuck on my own for xmas I might be glad of the diversion.
