Side note on these, I got one and it shipped with a couple dime-size blobs of grease inside the cassette body. Actually having a hell of a time getting it clean, though I suppose it would be easy with an ultrasonic parts cleaner.

Did you buy the one that's specifically 182g? I'm tempted, but I'd rather have a 12 speed version.

I've been running the 12s 11-34 in Blue for the past year and it's been decent. Also came in at like 230g

Upon inspection, no, and also I got an 11sp.

I choose to mount on the gravel bike in order to have a comfortabile disassembly of the wheels
It's a very small weight add compared to lightweight axle and it keeps the 6mm hex on the drive side.

Full Shimano 105 R7100 12 speed mechanical for $328 + $60 shipping.
But the code "IFPOCEB" slashes $40 off.

Ordered one just now $370 all included shipped to the USA.

New Racework carbon crankset with 29mm dub size axle, but unlike the new Riro crankset, the Racework is a 3 bolt chainring interface. Weight is 420g for the crankset.

420g whats even the point

I guess it's for those who have 3 bolt power meters or want access to more 3 bolt chainrings, but want the bigger axle. The Riro 29mm crankset switched to the Shimano DM style with limited 2x chainring options. The Riro 29mm axle crankset comes in at 399g. All the non-carbon 29mm alloy axle, 3 bolt cranksets are like 500g plus.

 How much do you want it to weigh. LOL With a double chainring its almost 200g lighter than DA.

Folks are spoiled. A year ago your options for cranks in these weight areas were 2x the price.
I went down this rabbit hole recently, and too many cranks use the shimano dm standard, which is sorta useless for a 2x road bike. Easton standard is "ok" I guess, but I really like the sram mount as I don't need "another" tool to deal with a lockring.

At least 50g for a spider, around 160g for chainring if you're getting very expensive ones and we're already well over 600g. A da 9200 crankset with rings comes in under 600g for one of the stiffest cranks on the market.

Your math ain't mathin'

Just pay pay another 100€ and get the rockbros cybrei ripoff

Racework 3-bolt DUB crank is claimed 420g (not sure for what length), and the 3-bolt direct mount chainrings for 50-34 (no spider needed) are claimed at 180g, for a total of 600g.

Besides weight, what's the consensus with the 29mm DUB axle versus the 24mm axle, both alloy? Is it worth the weight increase for the larger spindle?

I’m waiting to find a knock off ceramic speed tool to remove these dam cranks.
