recommendation for 1x bsa68 crankset and BB combo

[26inch4life]

I am looking for suggestions on a lightweight 1x crankset and bb. Its a standard bsa68 threaded. crank arm length between 160-170. I dont want to spend a lot of money. Also, i dont do any downhill or off road trail riding. Primarily paved and/or fine crushed smooth gravel trails. I see a lot on aliexpress. Since I'm looking to replace crank arms and bb it doesnt have to be any certain type (square tapered, hollowtech, gxp, etc).

Also, since i mostly ride roads and smooth trail, I currently have a 46T front chainring currently and a 10t-36T 11 speed rear cassette.

I found the following and it it appears to be one of the lightest cranksets on aliexpress. Does anyone have any experience with this crankset? I just dont like the yellow lettering:

is it 24mm alu or 24mm steel axle?
they usually sell alu axle cranks, which is not ok
listed weight ≠ actual weight

I use a 'pre-loved' SRAM X0 (carbon), weight is 466g for the cransks, 4g for the direct mount reatining bolt and I currently have a 32T raceface ring weighing 58g.
SRAM GXP BB aren't the lightest but mine is 115g. Total cost was about £100.

For a 46t you could consider a Road crankset and CX chainring which I have on my commuting bike.

what road crankset do you suggest?

Turuvativ Rouleur are fairly robust to suite an MTB.

I ended up getting the racework carbon crankset. All i can say is WOW! This crankset is amazing. Total weight of crankset, bb, and chainring is only 575g. The arms are very stiff, with no flex, installation was a breeze, and the build quality is amazing. They are buttery smooth, and the ride difference over my old cranks is staggering. These are true giant killers. They are comparable to easton ec90's, E13's LG1r's, Rotor Kapic's, and others, and they are 1/2 the price and at or near the same weight as all of these. I highly recommend these.

I smell a shill.

Huh?

Robert, please clarify what you mean. I am giving an honest review of these cranks. I now have around 400 miles on them and they have performed flawlessly. It's unbelievable how little these cost, as well as how light they are. The only production carbon crankset that i can find that are lighter are THM clavicles, and they are over a $1000. I highly recommend these cranks for any weight weenie build.

ooo, they actually came in about 4 grams lighter than the listed weight. I am not sure if it is AL or steel axle, but I have about 400 miles on the cranks so far and they are performing flawlessly. They are not loose, and ive checked the axle and there is no wear on the axle that i can tell.

Seems like it could be a good deal, but I don't like that their branding is such a blantant knockoff of sram

sram, easton, e13, rotor, raceface, etc. They all look just like each other. Do all of those bother you as well. They are all almost identical in looks. Its the in fashionable thing right now to to use that big blocky font and put letters on the crank arm. And none of those weigh this little.

Try to use magnet against axle and report back.
You can do that on the bike, no need to remove crankset.

It is much more egregious than that. It's obviously a direct rip-off of the Sram XX1 cranks.

170mm only?
Pass.
I ride 165mm on road and mtb.

Also, 24mm aluminum axle???
Normally 24mm axle are made with steel to not feel too flexible.
29-30mm diameter axle can get away with being aluminum.
