I was hoping to try the direct mount of the Fovno.

Cane Creek eeWings in titanium take a direct mount ring.  ;)  Then you can anodize it yourself to the purple of your liking.

You can pick only two of the following....

1- Direct mount rings
2- purple color
3- reasonably priced

On that note, since you have two Ti frames, watch the youtube videos on anodizing titanium. I've experimented with some Ti forks and spoons to see how it works before trying it on my Waltly. It's pretty simple and effective.

Those eeWings are more expensive than my Ti frame.

Hi guys, I was looking for the boost version of that crank, and found a relabeled one. Also ZTTO is using the crank.
But it seems not being boost after all. Isn't it?!

would have to say I do not recommend these cranks, hadn't even got to use them yet but was swapping them between frames I'm building and the extraction bolt completely stripped, I use park tools hex keys so quality tools isnt an issue, hadnt used much torque either. Ended up having to cut through the non drive side axle to get them off, completely destroyed. metal in both the axle and tightening/extraction bolt seems way too soft for the torque needed for a crankset.

Sad to know it didn't panned out as we hoped. Thanks for the heads up.

Zrace blade is an alternative, it has steel axle instead of aluminium. I have one but haven't tried it yet (waiting for next season + new bike), but the machining and quality looks really nice probably on par with fovno/hardrock.

In the package of a Deckas ring I just received, there was a sheet with Fovno products.

A chainring that looks to the recent SRAM ones, with the special shape teeths.
But couldn't find it on Ali.

And the Fovno crank in DUB version.
I contacted the seller, but they were out of stock until December.

When looking for options for various upcoming builds.
I find that SRAM did something interesting with DUB, despite my initial impression of hell-why-another-standard ?

DUB should be better with the aluminium axles at 29mm insead of 24.

Found that Zrace have hardrock DUB cranks avalible on ali.

I got myself the cheaper FOVNO Ghost crankset. Looks very good for the price, except for some small optical flaws.

But I'm wondering how the supplied threaded BB is supposed to work in a pressfit frame?

No it wont work, that is a BSA threaded bottom bracket.

Schumo

Okay, then I'm a bit stupid and the instructions a bit misunderstandable  ;D

The confusion has probably come from the item description which says Fit for Pressing-in(BB90) 89.5/92mm that however is referring to the crankset not the BB. Bajker is correct, that is for a BSA bottom bracket.

Why choose this kind of crankset, when at Sram we have an NX eagle DUB at the same weight for the same price? Something escapes me ...

The colors ?  ;)
But you're right, I'm building bikes for a group and some went with an NX crankset.
