That is road spacing and won't work for Boost spacing, qfactor is only 150mm, so will rub on tires.

I was looking a long time for carbon cranks for mtb, Riro, Ryet/Lexon and Kore was the only legit MTB ones I could find. Only Kore makes a 165mm version though which I wanted.
Elliee has way too narrow qfactor IMO.

I ended up just buying the new XT m8200 cranks for 95 usd from ali instead.

I was just looking at the Kore cranks. Seem like the only decent option right now. Still pricey though.

There's some talk on other threads about staying away from the Ryet/Lexon cranks which have me holding off.

Managed to damage the rear rim on my two month old Elites bunny hopping a curb. I'd like to rebuild it myself reusing the spokes and nipples since it's so new, any red flags to look out for when choosing a replacement rim? I've found a few options with the same spoke count and EDR. I'd go with Elite, but a single rim is almost the same price as an entry level wheelset, which seems like a poor option in that context. Waiting to hear back from Elite to see if they'll offer a discount. Cheers!

I wrecked a rim on a pothole and spoke with Elite through the AliExpress messenger service. They pointed me to the exact rim I needed. I taped the rims together and transferred a single spoke and nipple over, one at a time, until the swap was completed.

73deg seatpost is frustrating for those of us with short femurs! The frame looks great, but I need something steeper
