Do you have any feedback so far? It is tempting to get this particular crankset as CBK allows for choice in spider interface.

Pros:
The cranks do look good (decent decals, nothing like Elilee).
They’re of good quality.
Weight has been spot-on.
They come well packed in a cardboard box.

Cons:
No instructions.
My 4x110 spider is not true - wobbling Dura-Ace (straight with Dura-Ace cranks) chainrings ain‘t pretty.
Support never answered any of my mails.
Took about 7-8 weeks to get delivered. Shipping was lightning-fast though.


Actually, I am running them with a Sigeyi Spider PM for Easton. This way the wobbling chain rings are nearly cured.

Does anyone have the RockBros or Carbon Bike Kits 24mm titanium version? I’m wondering if they have the same issues as the Lexon cranks.
Whilst rockbros looks identical, carbon bike kits version seem to at a very least have a different mold for the crankarms and I'm tempted to give them a try

I do have a the CBK variant in 165 mm and with the 24 mm titanium axle.
To me it looks as if it’s identical to the cybrei cranks. No practical experience, as I just mounted them. The spider is not true, what suxx. But I ordered me a Sigeyi PM spider from AE to swap against the wonky spider.

I‘ve bought the new carbon crankset with 24 mm titanium axle off them.

Pros:
Quality seems good, though there were some minor scratches. The crankset seems to be identical to Cybrei cranks.

Cons:
The 4x110 mm spider is not true.(being used with my Dura-Ace chainrings)
There’s no instructions.
Support answered none of my emails (addresses from their website).

When are you due for delivery?

The status of the order is still “processed”.

I am in no hurry. Will keep you posted.

Thanks.
I just took the chance to order one from carbonbikekits.  ;D

* 165 mm
* 24 mm axle
* spider 4x110 mm BCD

I am about to replace my Dura-Ace 172.5 mm cranks with it. Will keep the DA chainrings.
Just need to decide later on, whether I‘ll go for a spider PM or (new) Assioma.

I weighed the frame in size L (520) including the derailleur hangers and, big surprise, at 1090g it is well above the figures given. To be fair: winspace didn't define the condition in which they specified the weight. I expected this and am actually happy with it. I have the bike in Chameleon white and love the look and paint quality. i will post some photos when i catch a sunny moment (which is quite unlikley in nothern germany right now ;) )

If you like it, its weight doesn’t matter.  ;D

But for me it perfectly fits the image of those Chinese manufacturers always claiming too low frame and fork weights, unfortunately. Not that they’re the only ones (Factor, Trek, BMC, …)

Yesterday i recieved my T1550 Gen 2 Frame. I opted for the 520 with the longest stem available (125mm). Lets see how this fit works for me! Overall i like the quality of the frame, paint and frame accesories. Speaking of which: in the frame accesories box was this little wedge. Do you know what it's for? I never had this in my previous builds.

What’s the weight of frame and fork compared to the claimed values.
And what color did you get?
