Another AliExpress parts review post :D
Fovno GXP crankset : C$ 64.92 44% Off | Fovno GXP Bicycle Crank Mountain bike crankset aluminum alloy bicycle crank aluminum alloy MTB bicycle crank bike parts

Crank looks solid , makes me think of Hope cranks from the shape of it.
PassQuest GXP chainring : C$ 34.45 25% Off | Pass Quest Mountain Bike Chainring Oval 3mm 6mm Offset MTB Chain Ring Round Narrow Wide Tooth Plate Bicycle Chain Wheel for SRAM

Machining looks good, really light. Hopefully it will last a bit
The tolerance of pairing those two were really really tight. I was able to assemble them by screwing the screw equally until the chainring would sit flush.
We’ll report more once I’ve ridden them or if you guys have any questions
Cheers

I have a set of these Fovno Phantom cranks just arrive too.
I notice they are different from the seller's pictures!
Mine have a dub style adjuster on the non drive side
And a tapered hex interface for the drive side crank, rather than the spline in the original pictures.
Yours look to be the same as mine! I wonder why they made the change from the spline?
Other buyers report the non drive side crank falling off! Due to the bolt working loose. Be sure to remove the non drive side bolt (its says "do not remove") add thread lock and re-torque.
Also other buyers report these axle bolts are soft - so if you have an old steel octalink bolt use that to torque the crank to the axle, then replace the alloy bolt with threadlock.
