The weight difference is surprising considering FSA typically just drills the pedal hole at different places for on the same length arm.

People complain about it because it shifts like a steaming pile of horsesh*te
But I guess if you change that rings it may not be that bad...

The variance is most likely due to weighing with and without chainrings.....

I can't really understand why people dump on these so much. In a way I'm happy because I picked up 2 sets (pulled off new bikes, bit used) for about $50! I sold my Ultegra crank, pulled the BB30 adapter and only suffered a 6 gram penalty, pocketed the difference. I've never noticed lousy shifting or anything, but it's not like I'm shifting around much up front.

Was that a 6700 crank you replaced?

I've actually had pretty decent shifting from mine. I'm still likely going to upgrade to Praxis rings, but it's not a pressing upgrade at the moment.
