klaster have you recieved your cranks yet? i am guessing since you havent posted maybe not. Any update on these cranks yet?
No, I've canceled the pre-order and got a Clavicula SE instead. Couldn't wait any longer.
Same here, I waited for months and months but it looks like it just ain't happening. My buddy got what was probably the last set of THMs available in the North Americas. As for my order, if they hold fast to their 20-24 week ETA, I should have them by the end of december.

I have a set with the XCADEY power meter. The cranks with power meter are ~405 g, and they feel super stiff.

However the power meter is shit and reads like 4x high after a firmware update...

Sigeyi matches insanely well to each other (i have 3 units of it at my place)

But the recent firmware seems to skew it a bit for some reason. Reads a bit higher than my Kickr 4 (about 2.5%)

I've emailed Philipeleven n did not hear back from him.

Is there another way to contact him, are these cranks available for 1x n where's the best place to get one please?

Thx

They're not being produced anymore. Production ceased as they needed to be redesigned. AFAIK they were. But the OEM has full order books and makes more doing other things.

I have a crank and powermeter to use with it. But it shows me with a 8000 watt sprint. So I can't really use it....

I think you could consider to take part at ANY cycling event in Tokyo in a few weeks with those figures.

I just talked to Sigeyi looking for a new power meter. Apparently the second version is still having issues, and I have been told to stop riding my first gen one or else I'll eventually suffer a catastrophic failure.

That's such a shame I only wanted a standard crank no power meter nothing just a plain vanilla crankset.

S Works SL8 54cm 5.94kgs
Winspace SLC M Ultegra R8150 no idea of kgs

Meaning that the crankset in itself has a construction failure, or can you explain?

He said that he is using the first gen of SkyPivot. The first gen are all recalled by Incolor in China, because of some failure cases.

First gen had a problem with pedal inserts, i am happily runing 2 gen replacement for 3 months and they seem to be ok :) - they have a problem with production capacity by oems not with the 2 gen itself

Can you advise where I can find more info on the cranks? Do they have a website or anything to view specs/compatibility etc.

**EDIT** the only site I can find with them for sale is this: https://www.ruten.com.tw/item/show?22036278716396
