Finally Finished the FTP
my LBS called me yesterday and told me my wheel is done, i was so happy that i just rode home during work, drove to the shop picked up the wheel and put it on, surprisingly the wheel seems to holds up pretty good i can even do whip skid here and there, i wonder how long it will last me til it untrue
well just want to share some happiness
P.S. during the test ride last night i heard some rattling, and its from my new omnium crank anyone have that kind of problem with their sram omnium?

Wow, those wheels really pop on that bike. As for the rattling, how much slack do you have on your chain now? I notice that everything is louder on this bike for me than anything else I have ridden. It is like a soundbox so if I have a bit of slack I can hear it rattle pretty loud.

i dont have much slack, cause when i put it on i tension it with a bmx chain tension, the chain was good, its from the left side of the crank arm i can even wriggle it a little, but the arm its tight the wriggle is from the space between the bottom bracket and the "center round tube" of the crankset

Nice!
Take off that brake and those egg beaters, add some quality road pedals, and head on over to the Lehigh Valley Velodrome!

Your cog is slipping.
When Omniums are brand new you'll definitely hear some noise until the chainring wears in a little, especially if your chain is really tight.
FWIW - it looks really tight in the pic.

i understand that but problem is that the noise was came from between the bottom bracket and the spline, i can even wriggle the left crank arm a little, but the crank arm is tight with the spline, it feels like there's space between the bb and the spline which cost rattling on un-smooth pavement road

Are you missing a bearing seal or something? There should not be wiggle.
Also, Omniums are not ISIS splined.

Your cog is slipping.
It says right on the GXP installation instruction sheet that if you experience any play after installing the crank at the recommended torque that you should remove, regrease and reinstall it until the play goes away. The self-extracting bolt on the NDS side often needs to be broken in before it will seat properly.
Do not ride it with play in the BB/crank.

I think omnibus are beautiful cranks but it seems like everyother post about them has an issue, nice looking bike but it deserves the track!
