Anyone had issues with Quarq Riken BB compatibility?

Hi all,

I got a Quarq Riken GXP power meter secondhand to use on the TT bike. However, despite trying at least two BB's I cannot seem to get it to install normally, turn smoothly and not have a large amount of play. I've used FSA GXP MegaExo and a Rotor 24mm BB, both of which have worked with Shimano and FSA cranks.
Does the Riken only work specifically on SRAM BB's?

Also, if anyone has had experience installing brakes on a Ridley Dean, I'd buy you a beer if you can throw some knowledge my way. The Tektro 725's I got are not mountable with the myriad of bolts I've tried so far.
TIA for any tips.

Cheers,
Ian
