Leese carbon crankset

[vermit25]

Yeap. Or these from Riro. Just decide whether you want to carbon rings or aluminum. If aluminum, maybe look for ultegra rings on a used market or AE.

Both links above are the same, did you mean to add a 2 different links?
Do you have any experience with these Riro chainrings? Are the aluminum ones not recommended?

[crazyravr]

Aluminum and carbon. Different looks and weight. I have no experience on the aluminum ones. The carbon are not as good as ultegra or durace for fast shifting performance but are lighter and look better IMO. Cant help you more. If your current rings are still good, dont replace them. Replace as needed.

I recently bough direct mount double chainrings for my leese crank. Moving from the goldix rings with a spider, these new rings are 40g lighter for the same size (52/36) and it's a night and day difference in terms of stiffness

1 yrs report

It’s been a year since i purchased and started riding these and happy to report they’ve been bullet proof. I miss the crisp shifting of a SRAM chainring but it is what it is

Was going through AliExpress and checked if there are new products that have 150mm lengths with an 8 bolt interface and came across this:

I just found this on AliExpress:  | CRUZBIKE Road Bike Carbon Fiber Crankset Titanium Alloy Axis 3-Bolt/8-Bolt Direct Mount
https://a.aliexpress.com/_msFa4uZ

Went back to Leese and enquired if they started making 8 bolt versions again and they said no. I might give Cruzbike a try for their 155mm

Never would I think someone would say that

Hi,

I have a question for those who owns the Leese Max 24mm spindle. I am currently trying to build a bike with this crankset and I have a Shimano BB BSA. I wonder how many spacers/washers I need to use to replicate the Shimano R8100 (R7100/R9200) chainline ? I put 1.5mm on both of the NDS and DS, but for some reasons.. it's not flawless like a R8100 crankset.

I use 1.5mm on the DS because it gives me enough room to adjust the FD as it was a Shimano crankset. If I use less than 1.5mm, when I am the smallest cog and biggest chainring, the chain is rubbing the inner plate of the FD and it's not supposed to be close to it but close of the outer plate by ~1mm.

Moreover, when I am shifting the gears of my R8100 Ultegra groupset, for a certain reason the 3-4th gear (starting from the smallest cog) struggle so bad when I am upshifting (like going from the biggest cog to the smallest one). However, it works well when I go from the lowest to the biggest.

I hope anyone can help me, I spent an afternoon figuring this out. Cheers

You may also want to check if there’s any tiny side play/preload issue rather than only focusing on chainline.

A good way to verify it is using a feeler gauge https://it.aliexpress.com/item/4001093664941.html between the crank and BB spacers to see if there’s still micro play once everything is tightened. These 24mm aftermarket cranks seem much more sensitive to spacer tolerance than genuine Shimano

I've bought 165 mm Leese cranks to try out on my fixed gear bike. I paired it with Pass quest 144 bcd spider which has 7 mm inside offset and I got 43 mm chainline with 3 mm spacers on a NDS. After using it a month now it works pretty good. The only disappointment was wider Q-factor. 154 mm instead of 150 mm according to specification on seller's page. And I've asked the seller about Q-factor before purchase and he confirmed 150 mm.
Other than that they are nice looking pretty light cranks for the money.

Now I'm interested to try out Bigrock cranks which should have 146 mm Q-factor that I like much better.

Anyone know where i can get a new preload adjuster that fits as the plastic one has broken.

Thanks

I contacted the seller I purchased my cranks and agreed to sell me 3 for 5CAD.

I am also interested in the spider to pair it with my elilee crank, because i dont want to pay so much for the elilee Carbon Spider.
How is your experience with the spider so far? anything weird and you know the weight?
Thanks and best regards

Hi everyone, I installed some Hudud carbon crankarms with an Xcadey power meter and 40-55 chainrings. I'm having issues because the chainrings wobble laterally, and when I apply a lot of force, the chain drops off the outside of the ring. I've tried swapping the power meter and adding washers in various places, but nothing has fixed it. I'm thinking about replacing the crankarms and have been looking at the Leese Max ones; I was wondering if anyone has experienced similar problems with them.

By quick googling some of the Xcadey power meters have the same groove in the mount as PP5 powermeter. There is a shim that fills that groove I had to order one for my PP5 I hope it fixes the wobbling. My Sigeyi that doesn't have that groove doesn't wobble on the same cranks.

I'm guessing one side of the crank mounting surface is going to the recessed part of the groove and the other is on top of it and the spider ends up wobbling.

Where do you buy this?
