I'm using a 110bcd Sigeyi power meter with Bikingreen 46/30 chainrings on my gravel bike. Works shockingly well!

doesn't look like there are  many options for 2 piece chainring in the 46/30 or 46/33 range... The Bikingreen rings can almost buy another crank

I had a quarq power meter crankset for a while with GXP spindle. I ran it with 46/30 Specialized rings. May have been 46/36 lol. I think any 165mm crank with 110bcd will fit what you need, you'll just need to source aftermarket chainrings.

I've had my eye on this exact setup or maybe just swapping the entire crankset out for something with built in powermeters in the crank arms since the pricing isn't far off.  Glad to hear someone with Sigeyi/bikingreen setup is happy with its performance.

I've gone down two different routes for a 165 crankset.


  • Driveline do some shorter cranks, I went with an adjustable length crank from Driveline because I wanted to try 160mm as well, but they have others that are a single fixed length.  Adjustable length Driveline crank, I emailed them and bought it via email. Paid USD $100 plus postage, with chainrings installed, I'm sure you could get your preferred chainring combo from Driveline.  I run this with an Ultegra 6800 setup, works fine
  • Wanted Power Meter for my gravel bike, so went with Xcadey crankset from aliexpress for USD $305, plus $20 shipping. This is 5 bolt sram which I just setup 1x, you can choose the spider type, eg. 110 BCD 4 or 5 bolt, or 104BCD

No complaints with either.  Xcadey is quite new but power readings are accurate next to my Powrlink pedals.  Have done many miles on the Driveline without any issues.

That's something I was looking for! Thanks for the data.

Adjustable length Driveline crank

This one looks kind of really good, even with the gimmicky length-adjust insert. Would happen to you know Q and the maximum bb with for this?

Not entirely sure how to measure Q Factor.  I just replaced a 6800 crankset and it feels the same, BB fitted without any spacers, I assume it's a standard BSA BB.

From outside of the crank arm near pedal, mine measures ~145mm from outside of crank arm on one side to the other.

Not sure of the weight. I use it for my Zwift bike.  I wanted this to try different crank lengths. I thought 160mm would be best, but by testing I've found that I prefer 165mm. So this crank was good for my needs and is working brilliantly.

If you email Driveline they are very helpful.

If anyone is interested, at Taiwan Trade you get 48/30 chainring for 50$, Usually it costs USD130
Sram direct mount 8 or 3 bolts.
I used it with a Rival dub Powermeter crank.
The price is valid for one week.

Today I bought 2 sets of cranksets from Driveline, an A13 on 165mm and A12X (adjustable lenght 160-165) and 2 BB86 bottom brackets. All for USD 137 EMS shipping included. Both are compatible with SRAM AXS Power meter, that I use in both of my bikes (Road and CX)
It has 4 weeks of lead time, I will post my impressions when it arrives.
