What's going on here?
So I was reading though my local CL ads, and saw this one for a Trek T1:

Anyways, I read this in the description:
"FSA crank arms with carbon fiber spyder. (slight slippage between the spyder and the crank arm when back peddling)"
What on earth is going on here?

Funny you should ask, as this issue just came up in the What Did You Just Buy For Your Bike thread:

I had a pair of these a while ago and they have a pretty major issue the tolerances for the carbon spider and the drive side crank arm were off so you will have a little play when stopping and accelerating fsa told me it was no functional problem but replaced them with the track pros for me as I was uneasy with the play I hope it is acceptable for your use
