What are everyone's thoughts on the lightest and/or best shifting set of chainrings to get onto here (for a Shimano setup). I'd like 54/40 but would settle for 53/39.

Dura Ace seem pretty good? Is there a neater / lighter spider than the ones supplied?

Stones are c.190-200g for a set. Lexons 190gish. Dura ace 165g.

Here some 2 videos about unboxing and mounting of the Lexon cranks.

Done now around 500km, cranks are doing fine.

Next project is to improve the chain line which is currently quite to the right (outside) as all spacers are on the right.
Just order some alu headset spacers (28.6mm inner diameter) and will use them together with a 24mm spacer (28.7mm outside diameter).

just now I found these here, should be an easier fit of a perceived (mental) issue of chain line perfection.

Lets get back to talking about the cranks guys, not power meters

Those cranks are sold with this power meter so we gonna talk about it if you like it or not

Thank you for this comment.

So far so good, have done 10 rides ISH and going for a bigger 160km round today, Onyu pass in Japan.
The cranks are holding up very well only the Powermeter was/is a bit off compared to me wahoo kickr. Like 30 watts, which is not that insignificant as I'm not enjoying Pogi's power output

I use a Saris H3 and the motor meter with me is off by 10 watts so probably it isn't too bad overall and yeah you can calibrate them easily after if you think it's not correct. I initially thought that my Saris H3 was less accurate than the power meter, but after your comment, I had to rethink my initial thought. However, I'm satisfied with it.

Too bad that those DUB crankset from Lexon didn't came with titanium axles or at least the one that I have, compared to the 24mm as they claim they are titanium...

So what is the general upshot here - are the cranks being shipped without the right spacers? Can you get a normal q factor and chainlinr or are the axles physically too long? What's the fault here?

today first ride with lexon cranks and shimano ultegra chainrings. Cranks came with 2 spacer , i've put one of 2 mm (i think) in NDS and it's ok, on drive side i've put a 0.5mm spacer to match with 45 mm chainline of previous shimano crank.
It worked flawless on T47 bb 86.5 without moving front derailleur.
