Re: LEXON Road Carbon Crankset Completed my build a few days ago.  For the record I have Lexon 29mm DUB cranks on an other bike (the version with the purple logo).  I admit these do have a longish spindle for 24mm Shimano style BBs.  With tightening everything down, I have about 3mm of play on my T47 BB.  I ran a 1.5mm of Wheels MFG spacers on the NDS and 1mm on the DS. I do not recommend using the supplied spacers as they are not very consistent.  Chain line seems to be right. 

Reason for purchasing Lexon is obviously the price.  I got my 24mm cranks with chainrings for about 300.00USD.  I got my DUB cranks for 180.00.  Considering the fact that I was about to buy Elilee cranks for 450.00+shipping w/o chainrings during 11.11, Lexon seems like a no-brainer gamble, IMO.

MAJOR ISSUE:  Replace the spider immediately or do not buy Lexon cranks.  Both of my Lexon cranks had an out of spec spider. I went thru all the trouble shooting with my DUB crank and ended up just making adjustments to the FD to deal with it (not the right answer).  Issue is that one of the arms on the spider is out of tolerance and causes a 1-1.5mm deviation in the chainring.  It occilates and will hit the FD cage ever so slightly.  My solution: replace the stock spider with a Stone spider (Eastons won’t work).  It was an immediate fix.  Problem is now you just added 44.00 to your total cost of new cranks. 

In the future I will not recommend these cranks unless you are willing to spend extra and play with the clearance issues.  (q factor is a non-issue for my fit)

I have a local tool and die shop that does small jobs.  In the future I may see if they can turn down the spindle by 1.5mm on both ends.  Right now, everything is working great, so no need yet.
