Mine took about 10 days to ship, I did nag them a few times too. Eventually shipped but then wasn’t collect by the courier for another 7 days and then went to a consolidation warehouse. According to the tracking it’s now at the airport.

Will share if/when I receive it

These have just arrived! First impression, they look good to me, even more so for the £40 I paid.

Held off buying a rotor chainring until it arrived, so need to get that next before I can install and test.

Mine just arrived. Am I doing something wrong, or are the screws with the blue loctite impossible to screw in? Does anyone else have this issue?

If yours are anything like mine, they had an obscene amount of loctite over the whole bolt. I found scrapping the threads clean with a pick and then with applying some grease was enough to get them threading in perfectly.

Hi, what's the weight of these?
The photo attached makes it look like they weigh a ton.

I haven't had the chance to weight mine but a weight weenie post says 590g for the set without the spindle.

I'll be changing my bottom bracket soon so I'll try and weight mine and post back here.

Is there any update on the quality of this carbon crank with adjustable length?

I would not recommend. My pedal insert on the drive side became loose and tightening my pedal to even more than 50 Nm did not fix the problem. It started making noise yesterday after approximately 500 km. I am going back to a Rotor crank.

I really hate to hear that... I was really hoping for good responses, because there really isn't a choice for length-adjustable carbon cranks at an acceptable price

I use the Driveline Zele-A12X-OS crankset
Direct Mount type with Sram 8-bolt interface

i have the 165, 162.5, 160 adjustment options
i ordered them directly which shipped from taiwan
https://www.driveline.com.tw/product/15/58

Did you happen to use this crankset with Shimano 12 speed chainrings?
Their spider doesn't allow (so they say) 12 speed chainrings and I'm thinking... what if I get an some other 8 hole spider from Aliexpres (Stone, Keos...) Then this crankarm could work with 12 speed chainrings?
Or did I miss something and misunderstand the matter🤷‍♂️

I'm still on 11 speed, but not sure why the spider wouldn't work.
my spider has 8 bolt interface to the crank arm + 110BCD 4 arm shimano-compatible chainrings.

i was previously using this 8-bolt direct mount oval 42T

then just recently upgraded to this 46T oval 4-bolt 110bcd + their spider

When I wrote to them they told me that their entire crankset sistem (their crankarm, spider and chainrings) works on 11 and 12 speed...but that their crankarm and their spider are not compatible with 12 speed 105 or Ultegra for example.
I don't quite get it either if the spider is 110x4 in both cases
