force crank rubbing bottom bracket
While installing a 2010 force crank, the inside of the drive side is rubbing the bottom bracket. I purchased a new GXP BB so I think I have the correct parts. Any suggestions?

Pictures might help explain the problem more clearly.

Isn't it supposed to contact the rubber face on the drive side?
Have you over-torqued the non-drive side crank bolt? too much tension there will put too much preload on the bearings.
