They are listed here http://praxiscycles.com/pages/standard-road-rings on the chart middle-right in red, but I can't find them in their storefront. But, that's just for their conventional rings. Maybe they haven't updated their stock yet?

I doubt they will sell SiSL2 rings through their storefront. Isn't Cannondale known for directing you to their local dealers for almost everything in their brand? If so, I can't see why this would be any different.

Ahh
They are preparing the web site for em but they are not for sale just yet..

Sorry to jump the gun there.

But still, what do you insiders or knowledgeable outsiders think our chances are of getting a 52 / 36 spidering??

There is a relatively new SiSl 2 Thread discussing aspects of the new Hollowgrams, Hollowgram components..........but the info is sort of 'all over the place'.
I wanted to ask my questions in this Thread;

1) price of the new SiSl 2 spindle in U.S. dollars
2) when will it be available as a part only
3) will this new spindle be compatible with second gen. Sl arms

To answer #2.. the 109mm spindle kit is 60-90 days away.. I ordered one so I can use my SRM.. although I now have it working by taking a lathe to the standard 104mm axle and cutting the shoulder off.. so I am essentially installing the old spindle like the new spindle... I would assume the rest of the parts would be similar. I just want to go back to a standard Q factor...

To answer #3... thisisatest on the board here confirmed the old arms fit the new spindle for me...

got my sisl2 crank arms today. i'll be using these on a MTB build.

i need to pull the existing arms off for comparison (2012 hollowgram SLs @ 175mm), but these come in at 122g for the drive side and 129 for the NDS for 172.5 sisl2's.

i was thinking they would save about 15g per arm -- my notes say that the 175 arms are 150g each, but after weighing the sisl2's i suspect my SL weight included the crank arm bolts. i will confirm this.

edited to update DS & NDS weights.

175mm

I just ordered the Ultegra di2 SuperSix Evo and noticed that it says on the Cannondale page that it comes with both a regular and compact Spider ring- is this true? If so, why is it pictured with shitty FSA rings?

I'm pretty sure the ui2 evo doesn't come with spider rings or the sisl2.

109mm spindle is the same as all spindles: $50.

someone posted one for sale on ebay.

172.5 53/39 weight is disappointing. sram exogram with aftermarket chainrings is lighter

Well right here it says it comes with both: http://www.cannondale.com/2013/bikes/ro ... e-crankset

And from what I understood the spider ring can be put on any Hollowgram?

I'm guess that is a website design error. That was probably meant for the more expensive himod evos. I don't think Cannondale is going to $500+ worth of chainrings on a $5000 bike.

The dealer book specifically says FSA chainrings:
