@Sadisticnoob - please can you share a review once you've received yours?

@xsnailx - do you know if the versions being sold by PandaPodium are V2 or V3?
Sure thing

I ordered it on 20 March and it was shipped on 1 April
Was hoping to receive it by end of March as I can proceed to build my new bike but have to wait for it to be shipped

They'll be the new one.

V3 sounds significantly better. I'm not enormously keen on threaded preload adjusters ..
The treaded preload adjuster is an amazing feature. For any crank with this style of attachement (sram, rotor, many chinese cranks) this is by far the best preload system. Sram should take notice.
Yes as long it is made the way rotor did it on 3d+ or in lightning crank. I have 2 sets of skypivots in use (both v3) they have seen racing, training, turbo and after a season they are working as new. I have also clavicula se, spec sworks carbon, lightning (for sale atm), 2 sets of rotor 3d+ so if you need any comparsion just ask

What’s the difference in weight with the Clavicula?
I have the PM9 with THM cranks and curios about weight
Thanks

My 172,5 mm clavicula se arms with powermeter weigh 302g - which is lighter than skypivot without pm

These CNC chain rings seem to be real popular. Similar to Cybrei.

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 ….

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

Direct Mount (for now)

I don't think the spider exists unless I get a Quarq PM

Then you can pretty much only mount sram cranks, third party cranks with 8-bolt interface basicaly dont exist

So the only way I can use the SRAM AXS chainring is if I mount it with a spider+PM?

Talking about latest version, not the prior gen.

Sram Red use direct mount chainring. It mount directly to 8 bolt crank interface, Both for power meter or non power meter chainring.
Sram Force can be bought with 107bcd. To mount Sram Force 107bcd chainring, then you'd need 107bcd spider. Either plain spider or power meter spider.

Since you have Sram Red chainring. You are out of luck. You need 8 bolt crank to keep the chainring.

If you buy new chainring anyway. Consider 110bcd AXS compatible chainring instead. Rotor make both 4x107 bcd and 4x110 bcd AXS compatible rings.
4x107bcd is Sram 's standard.
4x110bcd is Shimano 's standard. It is a lot more popular for aftermarket chainrings.
