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.

[mwaan]

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.

Ohhh, with "lock ring", you're referring to the crank bolt assembly, right? Damn, I was so confused when that first came up and the image to prove it showed something like an actual lock ring on one side and the split preload nut on the other ...

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.

I think those standards only tell you what the bb shell should look like, nothing about the spindle-to-crank interface ... of which there are several (for the same nominal spindle diameter). So, the question is if there are standards for the latter or every manufacturer does their own thing.

what is the total price included the power meter? did you buy the shimano compatible one?

[Vaclav]

what is the total price included the power meter? did you buy the shimano compatible one?

Like I wrote I bought cheaper 28,99mm DUB alu version, total it was includet pwm 371,34$ 
From tomorrow is black friday with the same price like 11.11. and 80$ cupoun you can find here: https://promossale.com/aliexpress-promo-code-and-coupon-november-2024/
But this is all specific for EU. Prices on Aliex are includet VAT and in the end deducted because of 150Euro rules and you finally pay VAT (customs) in your country. (If you are lucky not)

btw on the official Aliex Lexon page are pictures of new alu 28,99mm dub crank and weight is 365g

Is anyone using this with the Ryet chainrings they sell along with it?
I bought some with it and they don't fit on the spider provided (it's too tight, I might be able to bash it on with a hammer or something but...yeah I don't really think that's good.) 

There's also an incredibly powerful chemical stench that wafted out of the box when I opened it...had to open up my garage to air it out.   

The crank arms/spindle look pretty nice. Chainrings and spider look pretty cheap compared to low end Shimano/Sram like 105/Apex.

I’ve got a set of the 30mm DUB axle cranks I got over the summer for 180.00 USD.  Running them on an old Spesh frame with BSA BB.  I just sourced a cheap BSA BB that could handle 30mm spindle.

So far no major issues.  Only noticed a minor wobble/oscillation, about 2mm. I checked the spider, couldn’t find any issues.  Swapped the Stone chainrings over to Ultegra.  Reduced it significantly but I can still see or sense it.  Probably need a different spider.  I put the Stone chainraings on a different bike, no issues with oscillation.   Overall, I’m very happy.

So happy, that I ordered a set of the 24mm spindle cranks for a new build.  250.00 USD is hard to beat.  Right now they are selling for 233.00 with coupons.  I received mine today with the RYET chainrings.  Have not tested them but just an initial inspection out of the box, I’m very impressed.

Do your chainrings fit on the spider easily?
