29 mm is usually used with 30mm bbs with a nylon sleeve

You'll need a BB30A to DUB bottom bracket. SRAM make one.

Thanks for the info guys! I'm pretty new to tinkering with road bikes 

Is this lexon crank the best carbon crankset to get at the moment?

The best is Elilee or cybrei

the best is sram really, elilee has the lightest and the only 24mm atm, lexon is basically the same as cybrei

Yeah but cybrei is being riden by Pogacar on his TDF TT setup to you can be sure it's top quality and Lexon brand is not the most reputable one.

Sure, the parts are basically the same and they probably come from the same factory.

And UAE equipment selection is weird sometimes. They probably wouldn't have had those cranks if they weren't an SRM rebrand

If they're the same then cool, because we all know Lexon had loooads of shit products.

Confirmed with Rockbros that their 24mm roadbike version should come in September (no indication of the year).
It does provide an option to have a different logo but the product should be the same.

Yesterday, the LEXON carbon crankset with a Rotor Qrings Qarbon was installed. When I drove a decent amount of km I can report back. It's pretty light and I went for the purple middle with purple bolts.

I have pushed the button on Cybrei lots of race teams use and if its good enough for Pogacar!
Cybrei are due to release 24mm and Eiliee have an updateD 24mm due the X Trecneto I think its called, and Lexon also have a 24mm on the way.
Not all made in the same factory but someone has stolen the design obviously.
Considered the Lexon and RockBros but not worth the headache and potential injuries  save a few quid if it goes wrong IMO

I just got this crank for my hill climb build (live in the UK) and have to say overall very impressed with the weight (322g without spider, going to use dm 1x chainring) and the machining/feel of the product. To me this and the rockbros crank look the same but you can clearly see this looks different (although similar) to the Cybrei crank. Wouldn't surprise me to learn they took "inspiration" from the cybrei and the rockbros and lexon are made in the same factory. Still waiting for the bb to arrive so will give an update when i've used it out on the road.
Also I used an old shimano 20 spline bb tool which worked fine for me.

the price of 199US$ was too attractive compared to the other Chinese carbon cranksets with 24mm titanium spindle and the design is also top notch.
forgive me but I had to pull the trigger ;-)
pics and weight will come once the 167.5mm crank arrived.

I hope it's top notch. On weight weenies many people are having concerns on titanium 24mm spindle - that it's to soft and may brake/flex under serious watts. I would love to get those but don't wanna test it on my self

I'm using the Xcadey crank in 172.5mm with titanium spindle since ~3 years and so far it is holding up fine.
the Xcadey Gen1 powermeter does not....

About me: ~80kG, 6~8000km per year, road only with loads of climbing in Japan, no races, sprints 1200W peak during Sunday group rides

From my subjective view, the 24mm version adds quite some weight to the Lexon carbon crank vs the DUB version, this is not the case for the Elilee, not sure if the titanium axle is having thinner walls or not. ==> it is not only the material but also about the detail spec (aka titanium grade), the shape as well as average wall thickness, besides others...
That being said, I have not yet seen a single broken titanium axle, not so sure about aluminum ones
