got the bottom bracket on. the left arm is a little thinner as it's a 105 arm so the screw does not quite sink in even with all the washers on the bottom bracket. think I need to put a washer behind the arm?
getting a regular bike after my battery fails?

got the wheels all set up. I used the tires I had on hand. I got the specialized tires for 1/2 off. I was able to return all the spare tires I had for the trek.

That bottom bracket is not right. It's probably designed for a 68mm square taper spindle. I would try moving the NDS spacer over to the other side, assuming that the DS BB cup has enough threads to engage it. If not, you may have to rethink your crank setup.

Yeah, foof, I was going to say the same thing… I don’t think a washer will solve the poor fit. Good luck though!

Shimano lists them as compatible on the chart that was posted. They are both hollowtech, but the arms are mixed, so it is going to take a little bit of fiddling. they dont make Shimano Deore power meter arms. There are plenty of threads on the bottom bracket to deal with. They feel good, and the arm is on well. is the the nut just a backup to keep the arm from sliding offor is it just to position the arm? dont I jsut need some of these till the preload screw engages?

just went to my local shop, and it just needs the washers behind the arm.

this is pretty much it. got the fenders but they are hard to carry on a bike when not on a bike. I kind of wanted the wood fenders but they don't work quite as well and I did not want to spend 140.00 on fenders.
Now to 160mm rotors so sad the levers I have have this clicky thing going on both sets of Deore. I have had it happen after 8000 miles, so i figured it's easier to just change them one time. cable clamp black braze on cable adjusters another brake adaptor new brake pads the banjo connector for the brake hose. cable cutter spacers for the crankarm

This derailer is weird with the cable coming in the front but it's all I could find that is setup for my setup so either I use the guide on the bottom bracket like this or I use a clamp on the downtube and have it skip the bottom bracket. What do you think?

I vote for clamps on the downtube and ignoring the braze-on cable guides. I don't like that bend in the housing.

I thought about it but then you're more into a S makes you wonder how this thing was meant to be used? I may need to use a brake noodle.

Well, it's not like you have to shift the front derailleur very often. If it starts binding, you may have to lube the cable or replace the cable housing more often.
