If you get the LOOK branded arm you get weave. THM branded you get weave. Specifically the "composite" version is the matte composite.

Ahh I see.. Is the only difference with LOOK that you can change the lenght of the arm? Looks like something that would become a sound problem in the future. :wink:

The composite is also over 100g heavier than Look arms since I think they're aluminum arms wrapped in carbon or something like that.

God damnit! Hmm kind of like the idea that I can use the original dura ace chainrings.. Maybe I should go thm crank with Carbon ti rings and Favero pedals....

Had a couple Origins in LOOK flavor. Never had an issue with noise even with a lot of travel (taking the inserts in and out).

They will become wedged in pretty good but it's not really an issue. The THM version is what you want if you want the ascetic plus the lack of hassle of adjustability. But there is obviously a 500 USD up charge for it plus it's lighter.

There are a couple threads on the forum with pictures if you're still looking.

Just buy a rotor carbon crank and power2max 4sl spider. With the regular chainring they are 620gr complete (actual weight) And not much heavier then the thm srm combo with carbon arms (listed weight). Oh and at least half the price

I just think the rotor is a little unsexy? Does that combo take original dura ace chainrings?

I like the look srm one since you can change lengths of the arms with the tri lobe.

Yes it can take the dura ace rings if you want. But I can't be bothered by those ugly rings.
I added the combo I run on my bike
