The FSA bottom bracket gives a chainline that is approx 39.5mm, that combined with a shit rpessed steel sprocket at a standard 42mm makes for a transmission that sounds like a washing machine full of rocks.
Use a bottom bracket spacer to push the cranks out 2.5mm and bin the existing sprocket and it transforms the bike- it becomes silent.
