Not sure what to call this: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805835501765.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.3e6d38dahJxoZc&mp=1&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa
I'm considering replacing my shimano 105 5 bolt crankset for something more aero for my time trial bike. I need to have a 24mm spindle to work with my BB and frame. I'm not overly concerned with weight, but low profile, stiffness, and fit is essential.
I've seen these "dimpled" cranksets from a variety of manufacturers, and they are quite cheap with GXP mounting and 24mm compatibility. Some appear to have simple bolts and others as linked above have a captive self-extracting bolt setup. I'm not too afraid by the aluminum spindle as this is going on a road bike that sees a couple hundred miles a year and will likely never see a sprint at all. Any experience?
