have any of you used a replacement spacer ops the 24mm spider lockring? saw rides of japans video now and saw they include a spacer. during boiling I noticed the lack of any supplied spacer with my lexon and had doubts whether the spacers will even work.
did you just buy wider ones?

btw measured mine and it came out at about 94,7 mm. Not 96. Not 93.

The same are coming out of 1 or 2 factories.

Thanks.
I just took the chance to order one from carbonbikekits. 

* 165 mm
* 24 mm axle
* spider 4x110 mm BCD

I am about to replace my Dura-Ace 172.5 mm cranks with it. Will keep the DA chainrings.
Just need to decide later on, whether I‘ll go for a spider PM or (new) Assioma.

When are you due for delivery?

The status of the order is still “processed”.

I am in no hurry. Will keep you posted.

I’m looking at the carbonbikekits crank but I also want to wait until Peter releases his crank.  Depending on price I may just order from Peter.

Would love to hear feed back on the CBK crank.  For price, the weight is far
more competitive than Lexon’s offerings.

After a few months of this it's a blood nightmare. The crank arms on the 24mm keep coming loose and clicking and fucking up bottom brackets.

I've had to retorque them maybe 15 times in three months.

Anyone happen to come across any solid Sram 8 bolt options anywhere?

General question on this and other Carbon cranksets. I am around 100kg and wondering how carbon cranks hold up with heavier riders.  Any experience or ideas?

Most are rated 120-130kgs

Anyone have photos of the new finish  Lexon crank?

So I feel like I should make a post on here about this.

Third ride, my lexon 24mm cranks failed catastrophically.

The bolt that holds the crank arm on the left arm sheared off at the head whilst riding; the crank arm came away still attached to my foot. I'm lucky I'm still here. The bolt is clearly made of cheap aluminium (when you hold it in your hand it's way too light).

I suggest everyone checks this bolt for stress risers or fatigue. Similarly, be careful with the torque. It says capable of 45nm. I torqued to 40 and that felt like a lot - obviously too much for this.

That is really crazy and unfortunate.  Glad you’re okay.  I’ve been riding my 24mm Lexon cranks pretty much daily.  No issues.  I remember watching a Trace Velo episode where he had a cheap pair of cranks that broke in the same place your’s did.

My biggest gripe with the Lexon cranks is that either their chainrings or spiders are out of spec. I have had non-stop issues with a oscillating chainrings causing minor cage rub on the FD. After switching to a Stone spider and Stone chainrings I was able to eliminate the oscillation.  This was also an issue with my 29mm Lexon cranks.

I may cave and order some Elilees or Cyberei later this year. Your post gives pause about continuing ride on them for safety reasons.


FWIW, I have removed and installed my Lexon cranks multiple times.
