Links would be nice. Design looks fine, the spindle is externally machined so won't be the lightest

not sure if I remember seeing this 'MEGA' brand before, not even mentioned here in the forum...

either way, the adjustable length is really interesting!
let's see when it pops up in Aliexpress how much it'll be, since through TaoBao it cannot be shipped to outside China, right?

I like the adjustability between 165mm, 167.5mm and 170mm. Though I wondering how secure that interface is? If not properly torqued, it'd be pretty nasty to shear off the pedal from the crank arm!  ???

it's a copy of look crank inserts, if they did a proper job, it's fine

In that respect it's like getting 3 crank lengths in one. I wonder what chainring interface they're using?

Bit of a surprise they're using the Rotor interface.

Aside from that, I note the same store is now selling the 2.0 version of WheelTop EDX (XO) MTB stuff.  It looks interesting to say the least.  Am I behind or has this just dropped?  There's nothing on WT's website about it.
