Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

torque on SRAM crank in bb90 (with conversion)

Anyone know the proper torque or method of setting torque value when using a sram crank on a bb90 bike, with proper GXP sized bearings in the frame of course. Or should I use the indicated torque value on the SRAM crank? It seems very high for the application, but maybe I am missing something. Using enduro's conversion kit.

Use what Sram lists. It should be on the crank bolt. IIRC, it's 48-54 nm.

Gotcha, just wanted to make sure with the change to a BB90/GXP press fit, not GXP native, there weren't any changes like "watch for the wavy washer to go flat then you are done". It seems like a lot of lateral pressure on the bearing centers to be honest, but I'm no expert.
