My elilee x320 just arrived. For illustration, with extralite and no power meter, 459g - so about they same as my old sram BB30 exogram with Extralite

Decals are more subdued in the outside, and engineering looks pretty good.

Now need to wait for the frame to arrive ….

Really like the smaller, more subtle brand logo. Much cleaner look.

Dumb question since I'm a late adopter here:

If I have a SRAM AXS chainring, all I need to find for Elilee/SkyPivot/Cybrei cranks is the correct BCD to match?

I have a Red AXS chainring I want to pair up with a SkyPivot or whoever carries a 155 or a 160mm crank
Croder Spirit should be 8-bolt interface (someone please confirm or deny) and they have short cranks. They are also releasing a new carbon version very soon

I too have SRAM red on my TT bike and wanted to both keep the SRAM rings, QUARQ powermeter and the better shifting of the SRAM Red (compared to Rotor which simply didn't shift as well with their rings.

I also wanted 160mm cranks and the aforementioned Chinese companies didn't make the 8-bolt pattern that is needed to 'plug and play' with SRAM IF I wanted to keep the Quarq powermeter.

So ... after a lot of internet reserach I found:

https://raketacomponents.com/road-crankset/

Yes, it's not carbon but it's machined out and very strong and works seemlessly with SRAM and the Quarq power meter.

Just an FYI.

I was in to buy either Skypivot, or Cybrei...
BUT after a short search I found a Red crank used in great condition for $230...
332 grams... With Sigeyi spider @101grams and bolts it was 443
and then around 120 for Carbon Ti 48/35 for a total of 560-563 grams and still saved $200 and 100 gr off my current crank.

:welcome:

I remember seeing a poster here say that the new red launching next month will likely have a 160mm option. This hasnt been confirmed yet but given they have had 165 for a long time and the market is pushing smaller it would make a lot of sense especially with Shimano offering 160 now.

SRAM having 160mm cranks would have made my search SO much easier...

Yes that would be great if SRAM heads in that direction.

Let us know how that power meter works out after a few rides.

Very tempted to get the Skypivot with 24mm spindle as a direct replacement for Shimano, but there's just nothing out there about these.

If I google "incolor Skypivot manual" for example there's just... nothing.

Google "Incolor" and there's no website for the company, just results for cosmetics and unrelated software.

There's a Chinese YouTube video with (as of now) 14 views from a channel with 5 subscribers https://youtu.be/YIPDirRr3kI?si=Gw8S0IZ2dSIxvXxy

Can't find even a single review about them.

This just isn't anything like the faith levels needed to replace a solid Shimano setup yet.

It's four years since this thread was created. How is the internet so quiet about these cranks if they're actually available and good?

I actually put the bike twice on the trainer/Kicker Core and the PM was reading within 1 watt at a super low intensity which is less than 1%....
I just put a little 1.2% offset which is nothing just in case.
Didn't have more time to do do more comparison.

But they Sigeyi are fairly accurate, according to GP lama and several others.

How's the shifting with those rings? I've read mixed reviews about them. Are you using them with an 11 speed or 12 speed drive train?

Sorry, was quite eager to fit it so it's now on the bike!

Best I can do is a picture from the instructions.
