Component Deals & Selection / Re: Leese carbon crankset

Received today

Weight for a 150mm

Crank arms 366g
Spacers 3g
Aluminum spider 55g

I'm not a machinist or an engineer but it looks well made. Seems are tights and no excess material anywhere. The marble effect looks A+

Does anyone know if the 8 bolt interface sold here fits SRAM? Seeing if it will fit my AXS quarq power meter.

I don't see why not

Just realized I should have gone for that one to save weight, but the one I got enables me to use Shimano should I change groupsets one day

The big difference is that the Leese version is available with an Easton interface, meaning that there's a range of spiders (and power meters) available so you have a significantly better choice of chainrings. The Riro version uses the Shimano Microspline interface which is only used for Shimano MTB cranks, so you have basically no choice of road rings other than those on AliExpress.

Just wanted to add that Leese goes all the way down to 135mm for Carbon cranks. Perhaps good for children-shorter riders

I don't know who else offers these lengths. I'm personally going to experiment on the 150mm which is not readily available elsewhere

I just ordered the magene with pass quest chainrings + bb removal & installation tool for around 300 € whereas carbon cranks (e.g. lexon) + sigeyi/xcadey + chainrings would have resulted in 600+ € and i wasnt sure about the reputation of these PM compared to Magene... And hopefully i will learn something for my skills when i change my first bottom bracket

Thanks all for your answers

Want to give us an update?

Which Magene crank did you exactly get? How's the shifting quality of your set up?

Yet another entrant in this now crowded market

Thought I'd give this a shot for its low price (ended up paying $118 with the current Ali coupons). It'll be paired up with some Sprill (Pass Quest) chainrings with my AXS groupset

Bought the 150mm option under the LSE-C01 pro (110 BCD/4 Bolt). The 5 bolt option is another product with different crank lengths

Expected weight is around 400g for the crank+spider. Another 175g for the chainrings

According to the manufacturer:

2 yr warranty and "We have been selling for 2 years, with sales exceeding a thousand, and have never experienced any quality issues"

CNC machined axles
Aluminum

Taicho_Cyclist was first to post it on Chinertown and found his comment. I will encourage him to engage as he has the crank installed but is still building his bike

I will update this thread once received and ridden

You could the Leese that come with the 4bolt adapter as standard. More choice of length than the Raceworks, and the cost will come in similar by the time you've added in the adaptor. I also prefer the graphics on the Leese.

I bought the Leese last night to pair with some Sprill chainrings for AXS. Really crossing my fingers that it will work. $185 was my total and thought it was worth the try

Was chatting with the vendor last night and when asked if they're of good quality

"We have been selling for 2 years, with sales exceeding a thousand, and have never experienced any quality issues"

Their warranty is 2 yrs but just like any Chinese vendor that's a huge caveat

Yeah the pad is pretty good, on par if not better than the Ykyw EI-pad (that seems to be almost gone now).

Only problem with these bibs is the lycra is very thin and it’s seamless, which makes me feel a bit naked, so I never bought more than the pair I have.

Are there any brands out there that have thicker Lycra?

Tempted on the Lameda but I've exceeded my monthly spend on bike stuff. Need to hold off a bit with the YOLOing

FWIW I just bought my first RYET saddle

It’s a Specialized Romin Evo Pro copy. The original Romin Evo worked for me many moons ago and somehow transferred to Prologo Dimensions for quite a while. I found that these flat saddle cause a lot of chaffing on my groin area that I can’t ride my bike for days

I’m on a Selle Italia copy atm and my groin area has never felt better for a while. Can’t wait to try on the RYET

@PeterXu do the factory and designers making this have experience making big brand or Chinese brand thermoplastic cranks? 

SRAM had early problems with delaminating inserts and a few cracks.  Easton had a lot of issues early on, and still some now.  Various cheap Chinese ones have had the same.  Quality Chinese ones from Incolor and Elilee both had extensive issues initially.

I.E. If the factory and designers have experience, we might expect the launch product to work fine.  If not ... I think it may be a mess.

I guess we're not getting an answer this @PeterXu?

Taking a stab at this thread

Bought this recently to replace my 1.5hr> bibs that I recently retired (Assos Neo Pro, almost 8 yrs)

DAREVIE Men's Cycling Bretelle Seamless 2.0 PRO Level Men Cycling Shorts 6H 500KM Ride Men's Cycling Bib Shorts 4-Way Stretch

It's honestly not bad. The pad can be position a bit further back. The leg grippers are A+ and the length is perfec. Compression is there although I may need to size up

Thinking of buying some Lameda next time. Joe from Panda Podium speaks highly of them
