Mine just arrived. Am I doing something wrong, or are the screws with the blue loctite impossible to screw in? Does anyone else have this issue?

If yours are anything like mine, they had an obscene amount of loctite over the whole bolt. I found scrapping the threads clean with a pick and then with applying some grease was enough to get them threading in perfectly.

These have just arrived! First impression, they look good to me, even more so for the £40 I paid.

Held off buying a rotor chainring until it arrived, so need to get that next before I can install and test.

Same, still waiting!

Mine took about 10 days to ship, I did nag them a few times too. Eventually shipped but then wasn’t collect by the courier for another 7 days and then went to a consolidation warehouse. According to the tracking it’s now at the airport.

Will share if/when I receive it

AliExpress link now taken down. Has it been reported as a scam?

The link is still working for me, and the listing is still live - from what I can tell anyway.

I did do abit more digging and if click through to the seller information and then ‘business licence’ it has an exs-cycling.com email address listed. I’d be intrigued to see if there’s a connection, as I know exs make solid stuff.

I’ve had abit more back and forth from the seller too, confirming torque specs and they’ve been answered quickly. They’ve mentioned the cranks will be shipped out in the next week too. Will have to wait and see.

I’m wondering if this is an ‘early bird’ price. I’ve picked up plenty of seemingly too good to be true deals from there.

So, a new guy in the first message advertising a new store (less than a month fresh) with zero rating/feedback and the only crankset available with an inadequately low price for the carbon+titan combination? I guess nothing's wrong here, let's buy, everyone, right?

Long time lurker, first time poster.

Like I’ve said I’ve taken the chance given how cheap they are and that the store was responsive to my questions. If they don’t ship them then I’ll get my money back, so happy to roll the dice.

Only shared in case it peaked anyone’s interest.

This is an old thread now but in case anyone’s interested I spotted these on AliExpress yesterday - pretty insane price at just under $60 as part of the current discounting.

https://a.aliexpress.com/_EwH1m8m

I dropped them a message to confirm if it came with an axle. They got back pretty quickly confirming it comes with a titanium axle. They’ve sent over a few pictures and they look good.

Will have to see what they’re like in person but for not even £40 I’m happy to roll the dice.
