I know not to put any spacers on a GXP BB.

Any Ideas?

Smaller Chainring? 46T?
Can i move the Chainring to the outside of the spindle?
Sram really needs to get their **** together when it comes to their cranks. Their service/warranty dept leaves a lot to be desired too but I won't even get into that here.

The funny thing in this instance is that I know someone who rides a C'mute frame and is using S300s without any trouble. Using a spacer on the drive side isn't usually something I would recommend but if you can install the crank using one without needing to over-tighten the NDS arm to get it to seat properly on the spindle (and crush the bearing in the process), give it a whirl.
