I'm not sure to understand what you mean.
I replaced an Ultegra crankset with a GRX 600, I didn't add any spacer and I don't see any play.
Beside, road cranks and "Gravel" ones are made for the same BB size.

Interesting, I guess the chain line difference is just cassette spacing then?

On one bike I have a GRX 810 FD with an Ultegra crankset and no issues.
The GRX FD has a wider range and can be easily adjusted.
I have an Ultegra FD with a GRX 600 crankset on anorher bike and it works more than reasonably well.
The only issue is that the chain slightly touches the FD while on the smallest sprockets and I couldn't get rid of it yet.

Now you make me really want to get one… For your other bike, was the grx fd clamped on or brazed?

On AliEx (Magene shop) you can read:
Not Support T47-86.5mm and BB386 bottom bracket !

On my Aliexpress product page is:
"Compatible with 68mm-86.5mm standard road bike bottom brackets."

The question is whether it works with T47 68 and 86mm bottom brakets, due to the larger bearing diameter and the risk of interference with the power meter unit.

Hi ChinerTown Team :)

I received the new P515 last week.

No issues with charging, no problem detecting it with the MAGENE Utility app, and same for connecting it to my bike computer. I was able to activate it online using the serial number, but the power always reads 0W on both the app and the computer. I’ve tried everything, and nothing works.

I also tried the magnet trick, but that didn’t work either — plus, the P515 is built differently from the P505, so I’m not sure if the magnet is supposed to go in the same place.

MAGENE customer support has been a disaster so far...

If anyone has had this issue and found a solution, I’d love to hear it.

Have a great day, everyone!

I ordered P505 a day or two before P515 was launched. Was initially a bit disappointed but also meh.

Package showed up today and they actually sent me P515, so I’m really happy about that!

Anyone knows if the  515 and 505 has the same mounting system to the crank? I'm looking forward for upgrading crankset for their carbon one when be released.

First time I've heard of it. Has there been any info on a carbon crank for P515?

It's been at bike expos for a bit over a year now. For the most part it's similar to cybrei and all the other ones, so it probably comes from the same OEM

I belive it will be called Magene TEO and on one listing  of PES515 on Ali I saw it in comparison table, but I can't find it anymore.

My short experience with P515.
Sale via Ali from the EU shop went very well, delivery took 3-4 days more then expected. Crank looks very good, marginal heavier than the 105. Assembly was also no problem, I ordered it with the QED chainrings. Installation on my Lightcarbon LCR017 was not a big problem, I did however have to add a spacer on the drive side because otherwise there would have been play between the two arms. First 100k tour was also problem-free, recording in. Compared to the power meter pedals seems to be lower in the numbers, maybe still needs to be calibrated. What I also noticed is that the QED chainrings are louder than my 105 crank.
I hope this can help you a little.
Best regards.

Can anyone tell me the thickness of the spider arms where the chainrings bolt through for a Shimano 105 R7000/R7100 or Ultegra R8000/R8100 crankset?

I got a Magene P515 and tried to use the chainrings from my Tiagra 4700 on it, but I found that the Tiagra spider arms have a 4.6mm thickness vs Magene 3.4mm, so the bolts would bottom out in the large Tiagra chainring and the large and small chainrings would be too close together anyway. So I have some R8100 chainrings (no crankarms) and some M10 x 0.2, 0.5, 1mm chainring bolt spacers on order, but I would like to know the Shimano spider arm thickness so I can get the spacing right.

What interface does the p515 have? I was thinking of upgrading to Elilee or sram red cranks.
