SISL2 Road Crankset

The SISL2 Crankset assembly process is different from the Hollowgram SL crankset as it is installed in a manner similar to a 2 piece crankset.
The SISL2 system is much better at setting correct chain line because there is only one 2.5mm drive side spacer and all tolerances are taken
up on the non-drive side of the crank. All the SISL2 spacers are laser etched and will indicate drive side or non-drive side. When installing
this crankset, use the following procedure:

Installation 5. Apply bearing grease to the spindle and slide drive side crank
