Could mean sub 500gr with a Sigeyi PM. That would be very nice

Manage to get the updated set on November last year. The crankset combo was around 425g with all the hardware installed.
The new paint scheme is the right degree of subdued, nice. Given ~7.5g for chainring bolts and 94g for EL RC2, the cranks are 323.5g with a 5 arm spider, the updated version most likely didn't gain weight.
Yes, weight remain the same. The updated version change the fixed pedal hardware to removable version similar to SRM carbon crankset.

All this sounds nice already for quite a while, but will we be able to get any of these outside of China in 2021, or the stock situation will remain to be Shimano'esque? :D

Too bad Skypivot effective crankarm length can't be changed like on SRM Origin Carbon with a mere rotation of pedal insert.

That would be great for various efforts: TT, grand fondo or just relaxed cycling! Maybe it will come :D ?

Could this crank with integrated spider chainrings be the lightest option for proper shifting with sram etap?

Does 11s etap shift ok with these?

I know at least one chinese pwm maker that custom attaches a single sided pwm to carbon cranks (as long as the back of the arm is flat). That would be the lightest option. It's tempting

If I weren't sill on mechanical sram red with exogram, extralite and pwm @460gr I would maybe consider it. I'm not excited about switching frame though or adding spacers to fit a bb386 crank in a pf30 frame. What's the lightest bb386 frame out there now?

Would be great for Clavicula cranks, their PM is super expensive:( Hopefully we will see more guys doing this outside China (located Europe).

I got bored of waiting and ordered the new Aldhu Carbon cranks + (separately) Sigeyi PM for 5c 110bcd. A touch heavier, but I'll be dealing with my LBS should something go wrong.

I thinking about that option to 260g for the cranks, 96g axle and 105g for the Sigeyi makes total ca 460g but I have to switch my 24mm PFBB86 to a reliable(!) PF 30mm.....with some weightgain I'm afraid :? So the weight difference with my DA9170/stages (ca 500g) would probably be minimal....
