I'm looking for a little help choosing a crank set for my upcoming Light Crabon LC018-D build. I'll be running mostly Shimano Ultegra 12 speed Di2, but hoping to save a few grams with an alternative crank. Being quite new to bike building, I need some advice. I want to stick with a 2X set up and am considering the likes of an Elilee, Riro or Megane crank along with maybe Pass Quest chainrings. I need 50/34 teeth and 165mm cranks. I want to know what set-up folks have used and are there any problems? I'm particularly concerned with chain ring teeth - I don't want to sacrifice any smoothness of shifting or suffer chain noise. Do I stick with the Shimano chain rings and just change out the crank or are the teeth on the likes of Pass Quest just as good? Any help and ideas would be appreciated.

Apart from crank length I'm having exactly the same question, very interested to see if someone has any thoughts on this?

I am running PassQuest chainrings on quite some bikes, without any shifting problems.
My main motivation for using them is the availability of 48/35 and the ability of mixing them with Shimano.
Have been using PassQuest chainrings on Shimano R8100 cranks, Magene 505 and RockBros carbon cranks with Xcadey power meter.
