Yea- i was going to mention that, decided to not confuse the issue. Never heard of the 166 model though- was it made for one particular company's chubby bike with some junk in the trunk?

I run a 166 GXP on my mtb. They barely cleared on my old bike (08 Stumpjumper FSR) but there is plenty of clearance on my 2011 Stumpjumper FSR. My friend was rubbing his 156q arms on his SC Blur LTC

Is your crank 50/34 compact version? I've seen 53/39 standart on scale as 607g...
Mine is a compact GXP version. The BB30 compact should be even lighter (~520g. if I recall).
I could really feel the reduction in rotational weight (166g.) I love the new Red crank.

^ how does it shift with extralite rc2? And did you have to rotate the rings?
So the new Red is lighter then my Hollowgram SL cranks.
For 172.5 50/34 with Praxis rings I am at 543g
I am building a second bike and have been looking for another set of Hollowgrams and am having no luck. At this point I should probably try the new Red, my biggest issue being the increased Q-factor over Hollowgram.

By going with lighter rings on the Red you'll save an additional 50 g. This will put the Red at 472 g. which is very light. I have the GXP version of the new Red and I love it. I got it for less than $400 from a LBS.
