The spider supplied with the XM crank is recessed to allow it to go round the shoulder.
Have you the correct spider type

Thank you! I am using the spider supplied with the Lexon cranks. A recessed spider would probably solve my issue. Do you know where to get an alloy one? Sorry for getting OT

165mm 24mm titanium spindle crankset.

I noticed these cranks also have a "shoulder" where the spindle attaches to them. Is there a reason for that? On my lexon cranks that shoulder causes a significant gap between cranks and spider/chainrings and is also the reason why the chainrings sit very close to the frame, making it difficult to set up the di2 front mech properly.

I had the same complaint on page 3, with one of their first iterations.

I just saw that! May I ask how you removed the shoulder?


The Lexon contact person gave me a Chinese telephone number so I could speak to the manager. I instead asked for my pictures and my complaint to be forwarded to them because I think the issue on the pictures is obvious to someone with technical understanding. I haven't heard back from them.

I think I found the reason for the big gap between spider and crank. It is due to the fact that the receiving end for the axle does not sit flush in the crank arm it protrudes by roughly 1 mm which equates the gap that I'm dealing with. Trying to explain that to AliExpress. But it hasn't proven to be successful yet. I don't think the person actually is making an effort to understand what I'm trying to explain to him or her.

Mine didn't come with any spacers. My guess is that the spider should sit sit further outside on the axle, eliminating the gap between them and also moving the chainring further out too. But the spider almost appears to be stuck halfway on the axle.

Hi everyone, I recently bought a pair of lexon carbon cranks with a DUB axle. I tightened the spider on the drive side to the required torque. There is still a considerable gap between the crank and the spider (can fit a small coin in there). Is that normal? It is quite difficult to make it work with the front mech because the chainset so far on the inside. In case this is not normal, any idea how to fix this? Thank you for your help!
