Title: GRX 1x crankset alternative with PM
Post by: sOKRATEs100 on February 04, 2026, 02:05:58 PM

Does someone knows a GRX 1x carbon crankset alternative with PM with titanium-alloy spindle which I could use with the same chainline?

Many thanks, Dennis

I've been thinking the same thing if I someday go 1x. I assumed you can run just a normal crankset (Elilee, Cybrei or some copy) with an offset chainring. Direct mount or using a spider.

I think GRX 1x chainline is a bit too wide if it ends up few mm less it might be better. GRX cranks use the same model for 1x and 2x and you mount the 1x chainring on the place of the big chainring.
Imagine using only the big ring on 2x system the chainline is not ideal.

If you don't need to run big chainring, ditch GRX chainline, It's worst on the market and run crankset with 45mm chainline. Been on 1x for years, the cross chaining on grx in the biggest ring is terrible, you can clearly see it on chainring wear.
