Leese carbon crankset

does "not for fussy mechanics" mean it has the kind of fit & tolerance issues requiring some minor modification to the component (sanding, filing, etc) to install it?

I installed Leese crank a few days ago and the only annoyance i've had was getting the spacers combination right but that's just a "feature" of DUB cranks I think.
I used sram dub bb86 bottom bracket and i think the preload ring on the crank is too wide so you have to use a spacer on the non drive side just to avoid rubbing on the bb shell.
Sram suggests to only use 3mm spacer on the drive side but I ended up using 0.5mm on a non drive side and 2mm on the drive side. With 3mm total spacers it was a little too tight. Luckily Leese provides all kinds of spacers in the box.

Pavlo K nailed it ^

Spacers, correct orientation for chainrings, ride it after indexing

It's not a plug n play like a SRAM-SRAM of Shimano-Shimano system. I mechanic I dealt with was so fussy he quit working on it and even told me "your frame is fake"

In my experience none of the tapered spline cranks are plug&play you always have to play around with spacers/wave washers etc. The position the crankarm depends on the torque and tolerances on the spindle and the crankarm that vary from crank to crank even for the same model. So I'd say it's pretty much the same for Leese as for any other brand
