Hello,

I am in the course of selecting the parts for a LTK266 build using the Ltwoo ER9.

One of the parts where I will splurge a little bit, will be the crankset, for comparibly cheap weight savings.

It seems like the Leese Carbon Crankset with 24mm shaft (https://a.aliexpress.com/_EQ5sI2Q) seems to be a decent option.

Considering that cranksets with 4 hole mounts can look a bit unclean, I considered going with the Easton interface version. Another advantage would be, the availability of adapters to different mount systems.

Now my questions:
Is there a downside of getting a crank with an Easton interface?
And does anybody have experience with the 2x Easton Chainrings of Leese (https://a.aliexpress.com/_EvjXIdM). I really like their look and the seem to have a good price/weight ratio as well. However I was not able to find any proper reviews about them. However I read quite a bit about bad experience with chain rings that are not from Stone or PassQuest. Unfortunately those two manufacturers don't offer Easton 2x chainrings.
I am a bit afraid of ending up with bad shifting performance, especially since I am already mixing Chain, Derailleur, Cassette etc from different manufacturers.

Some advice and insight would be highly regarded.

Just buy an Easton 110BCD spider and any chanrings in this config. I don't really think they look "unclean".

Direct mount easton chainrings basically don't exist, especially 2x. That leese set is the only one I'd ever seen.

In principle they do not look unclean, but most 4 bolt chainrings seem to be designed with the Shimano spider in mind and I am afraid that it will look strange with a spider that has a completely different shape. But I guess the strategy youre describing would be the simplest/safest one.
