I was browsing taobao and noticed this new crankset

24mm Ti spindle
Adjustable length
Weighs around 340g

Anyone had any experience with them or any thoughts??

Links would be nice. Design looks fine, the spindle is externally machined so won't be the lightest

not sure if I remember seeing this 'MEGA' brand before, not even mentioned here in the forum...

either way, the adjustable length is really interesting!
let's see when it pops up in Aliexpress how much it'll be, since through TaoBao it cannot be shipped to outside China, right?

I like the adjustability between 165mm, 167.5mm and 170mm. Though I wondering how secure that interface is? If not properly torqued, it'd be pretty nasty to shear off the pedal from the crank arm! 

it's a copy of look crank inserts, if they did a proper job, it's fine

In that respect it's like getting 3 crank lengths in one. I wonder what chainring interface they're using?

Bit of a surprise they're using the Rotor interface.

Aside from that, I note the same store is now selling the 2.0 version of WheelTop EDX (XO) MTB stuff.  It looks interesting to say the least.  Am I behind or has this just dropped?  There's nothing on WT's website about it.

Just occurred to me.  Are they associated with WheelTop?  Because WheelTop now have a majority stake in Rotor ...

Im not sure about that. I think no one here have have yet to purchase. The price of this crankset fairly reasonable.

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.

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.

Free + a stone spider these would come out to like 11x$ CAD almost tempted to give them a try...

Currently waiting on the bigrock ones in 160mm to replace r8100 cranksets.

Lol, thanks for this, going on a business trip to Switzerland so get it shipped there (free shipping). Crazy deal if it's solid

Would the adjustable interface be solid enough?
Scary to think if goes wrong while sprinting at high speed
