I'd like to swap my GXP over to BB30 to fit in a Venge frameset.
Looks like it is a simple spider swap, but I wonder if it then needs to be recalibrated?? Same arm length and same rings, just different arms. @

IME, it is worth doing a slope-check (true recalibration) when any change happens on a quarq -- even changing rings to others of the same size/type. (yeah, i know "omnical" and all, but my own testing suggests that the slope can and does change.) in theory, changing the spindle doesn't affect the spider, but it's an integral part of the system.
a slope test is simple--about 5 minutes if taking one's time.
how long have you owned your quarq? if it's been a few years, it's worth it to just check the slope anyway, and this change could be a good trigger -- true for any meter.
