Bikes: Cannondale CAAD8 with Ultegra/105, Ksyrium Elites, Powertap Pro, Toupe saddle, and Thomson X2 stem (gotta have something Thomson); Felt F65, Trek SU200, Trek 7300 FX

The bike's just been sitting in the basement since it ain't going anywhere any time soon with this weather, but I've been wondering after reading a few things, is it likely that BB axle length is too short? Is the BB on this crank adjustable, and with the turn of a dial or something bring the chainrings further out? The crank is the following:
FSA OMEGA, 2-PC Carbon with CNC 7075/T6 Alloy Chainrings, 50/34T

If not, considering the dilemma, would it seem readily apparent that Felt spec'd a crank with a BB too short? If so, does anyone know if this crank comes with the option of using a longer BB?


Again, if it only had a good 1-2 mm, I think it would be fine, but as it is, the granny and big cog combo rubs the cage and the cage can't go in towards the frame any further. TIA
