Funny thing. The Praxis installed alu crank was 1g heavier than my Force 1X crank.

However, proper wheels will impact your ride more than different cranksetdontpanic wrote: ↑Thu Sep 02, 2021 12:53 pmJust bought a 2020 Crux and want to drop the weight a bit.

The spec says Praxis Zayante, BB30. I will get the bike fist next week. Anyone know which Zayante crankset this is.
Zayante Carbon-S or the lighter Zayante Carbon? Or some other older version?
If it is the heavier one, is the best buy then a Zayante Carbon to save som weight? Since I guess the BB is the same then it would be a easy switch.
Or go for some other crankset?
When you say you ordered it, do you mean as a dealer or as a cyclist? I would be extremely reluctant to order a bike without a deep look at the geometry chart and particulars, at the very least.

As a cyclist. I know both my fit coordinates & the stack & reach, so all good. It's a gravel race geometry & that's precisely my intended use, so I'm not exactly worried they got the HTA 0.5* too shallow or the BB 0.5cm too low.

dontpanic: Get a direct mount chainring for the Force crank and you will save weight

Ah, interesting, they pushed the top tube out ~10mm but they kept the HTA nice and sharp, I'll bet that handles pretty nicely. I wonder what the frame weight is on the 10R vs the current 11R though. Not sure I want to downgrade to less R's.
It appears your Force 1X crank was weighed without chain ring bolts.
BTW, Sram Red cranksets are lighter than Force, so that's where you could see weight savings. Or go THM Clavicula?
It also appears the Praxxis are 172.5mm with a 40t chainring compared to the 175mm cranks and 42t ring of the Force.
