LEXON Road Carbon Crankset

[Vaclav]

So it looks, that is not heavier just the 24mm titan version, but also new V2 alu 28,99 version. Ordered on monday 11.11. 172,5mm DUB alu version, so I'm wonder what arrive in the package.
As for price, ordered with pwm from Lexon official store and used 80$ Aliex. coupon, so final was 148$ for crankset alone, but waiting if it will be catch by customs  (I am from EU)

We have to pay way more in the US I guess.

That's for the new version. Old version is about $150 USD after coupons.

No, the picture you sent is the 24mm titanium spindle version. you need to compare to the 29mm aluminum spindle version which is significantly cheaper.

prefer this new finish however looking for this in DUB spindle also advertising 320grams seem to be getting heavier this cranks. Obviously Ti will be slightly heavier anyone have a DUB at 320g?

I've Just noticed that my "new " r1 received 2 days ago is like a new version
It has the same lockring on drive and NDS, and weight a Little more than previous received in june

I can confirm the same. I bought another crankset and received it a few days ago. The weight came out to 401g WITH spider which is around 40g heavier than my old one.
As you can see in the picture below, it's the same lockring on both sides.
I think I know the reason why they made this change. Now that they have a 24mm Ti spindle option, they want to have more parts commonality between the two sets. Look at the picture of the titanium spindle. I bet that you can swap spindles between the Ti version and alu version.
If so, it's good news for people who want the more subtle branding of the titanium version. Maybe you can buy the Ti version and ask them to buy an extra 29mm alu spindle.
Note that they still advertise the alu version as 40g lighter than the Ti version, but that is not true anymore. The difference will be less than 10g.
Also, it makes you wonder if the other carbon cranksets that seem to be the same (such as Rockbros) have also made the change. If not, I'd think about buying the Rockbros crankset to save 40g. Although I really hate the branding graphic on it...

You wont be able to fit a dub 29mm and a ti 24mm axle in the same spline, you would need an adapter to fill in the space that the 24mm is narrower.

This does however mean that you can pissibly swop the dub spindle for a shorter one, if the interface accepts the normal bb386/bb30 interface.

This is something that I wish I could have done with my set. Meaning I can finetune the q-factor.

This may intrigue me enough to buy another set.

Oh yeah, you are right. It seems unlikely that the 24mm spindle and 29mm spindle use the same spline.
Realizing that, it makes me wonder why Lexon made this change. I think for marketing purposes, the 40g increase is a big deal.
