Thank you very much.
Yeah at least from the fotos it's hardly noticeable.
Maybe check the weivhtweenies thread for sram red crank. Many sanded it down to remove the SRAM logos.

didn't really look closely, sorry.
I don't think there's much difference to be honest—titanium is stiffer than aluminium anyway.
From what I've seen in the test data, you're really splitting hairs between the cranks.
Any differences are probably negligible in real-world use, so I'm not too fussed.
I've got the Cybrei DUB on my SL8 and that's a fantastic crank—plenty stiff.
I only went with the 24mm version this time because I've got a 24mm Hambini BSA bottom bracket lying around

For elilee the 24 is slightly less stiff according to their chart.

Hm, does the DFS also have a hex key bolt on the drive side?

Can I ask what the price delivered is please.

Pistonbroke
Its $329USD on there Shopify page.
I paid $285usd and I got an additional discount as I bought a wheelset as well so was probably more $250usd
I would message and ask them +86 188 5000 7287

Hopefully the video work this time!

Great thank you very much

Ah I was wrong. The non drive side is interesting. So no two extractor bolts on both sides .

You only need the Bolt on the drive Side this is the same as Elilee and Cybrei
It would look better finished on the Non-Drive side like the Cybrei  or Elilee with a diffrent cover cap or blank cap

Not really been running a set since April no Issues 24mm Ti axle 320grams. 
Has to use Elilee installation instructions when installing as they had none sorted.
Other than that quality is good I'm happy.
So ask if the have instructions. Had I not bought these, which I did as I purchased a set of wheels also, I may have bought a set from Peter at XM CarbonSpeed  $230usd.

to be fair, xm 24 mm price is 310. 2xx is either dub or special price.

Apologies your correct its the DUB that's $230

this is what peter posted in the XM thread

230 USD/ set for 29mm DUB aluminium spindle version, 310 USD/ set for 24mm titanium spindle version

Does this crank need a recessed spider too, like the XMCarbonspeed? I'd want to use it with a xcadey or sigeyi power meter and I don't want any gaps.
