Final verdict on the 24mm spindle Lexon cranks.  Super nice, look good, well boxed.  Been riding them since DEC.  I have had non-stop issues with chainring occilation.  At first it was pretty bad.  Narrowed it down to an out of spec spider.  Replaced the spider and Ryet chainrings with Stone spider and chainrings.  Dramatically reduced the chainring rub on the FD.  Lexon’s spiders are out of spec and so tight fitting that I think they flex chainrings ever so slightly.

Fixed all of these issues back in FEB.  Still getting a very, very slight chainring drag on the FD every 12 - 3 o’clock stroke on the drive side.  Finally, I caved and ordered a set of Elilee 310s.  First time with Elilee. Very impressed.  Just did a quick 50km, the Elilees are way stiffer and there is zero chainring oscillation or drag on the FD. 

My personal opinion is that the Lexon cranks are a bit flexy.  Based on issues others have pointed I don’t recommend these.

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

* 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.
Do you have any feedback so far? It is tempting to get this particular crankset as CBK allows for choice in spider interface.

Stumbled on this cranks https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008771683371.html

24mm axle and 3-bolt interface. I have a really good power meter spider and this could be the cheapest option to get PM to my new BB86 frame. Anyone has any experience with them or other Bigrock parts?
