They're not hookless. You just got me doubting myself and scrolling through the listing to 10 minutes making sure I didn't miss something  ;D

It's weird. The cross sectuon drawing shows hookless but the picture and text make it look like they are hooked.

New PR1 crank coming soon from Senicx - one to keep an eye out for on AliExpress



As seen in this video here:

Is it just the bad quality or does this picture look doctored?

Apart from that, call me old-fashioned, but molding that r-slur ass-ymmetric spider directly into the crank arm seems so many levels of wrong.

It's just me not having a billibilli account so I can only stream in pretty poor SD quality. Definitely seems real.

It looks kind of crap... I have got the PR3 on my Indoor bike. Looks great and you can get cheap chainrings for it.

Hopefully there is still some refining to do on that crankset. It does look pretty horrible compared to senicx other offerings.

I don't really see the appeal of Senicx cranksets, they all seem quite heavy to me.

OG-EVKIN CF-025 frame on sale for $418 USD. Though you have to purchase the thru axles separately which tacks on an additional $23 USD to the order. Back to School sale discount codes still apply in your region.

I know their customer service as been regarded as s**t on here, but if anyone is interested!  ;D

Cheap and durable. They just work.

Does anyone know what is the chain compatibility of chinese XDR cassetes? Flat top Sram chains or regular Shimano spec chains?

Well, they sell it with a ZTTO Z12 chain, so you won't need a flat top chain judging by that...

These are hookless, I bought them and was fooled by the misleading description also. So far so good on American classic Uddens. Great wheelset though, rode BWR with them without issues.

ah, thanks for the confirmation. Time to fight the Ryet store for a cancellation before they ship  :) No hookless for me.

... No hookless for me.

I use hookless rims on all my bikes: gravel, road, and mtb, and I've never had any issues. What's so bad about hookless?
