What? That's super heavy and probably going to be pretty expensive as well.

Hopefully it does better than their last crack at cranks.

The difference in the single and double cranks is 148 grams. I have not weighed a large chainring in a long time. But is 150 grams the "right" weight for a large chainring? The overall 590 gram weight is not bad. But today its nothing to get excited about and write home. Or call home, email home, since I don't believe anyone on earth writes letters anymore.

Uhhh.... I still write hand-written letters and send them to my friends via post. They write back as well (hand-written, postal service)... we make an effort and put thought into what we do, from the letters themselves to how they are presented to the recipient.

But anyway, the marketing phrase of "Forced Evolution" is a bit funny, no? :lol:
Despite the weight - they aren't very light by WW standards - the Race Face tech on them should be nice.

Looks like this is one for the cross/gravel crowd to me. The race face tech makes chainring switching nice and simple

this is essentially the new raceface crank with some minor adjustments. will be in the same weight range according to those i've spoken with. I have a hard time believing they'll have the same issue as the last ec90 since this design has essentially been in use by race face for quite some time now and we haven't heard anything issue wise there.
