With SRAM introducing their new bottom bracket, the DUB, 28.99mm
chances are cranks that use something like this, a GXP BB or the
24mm from SRAM, crancks I use this or the 30mm axle will probably
be discounted here and there, and that's exactly what I found.
An Eagle X01 crankset.
If you look here on the label these are made in Taiwan,
the manufacturing date, serial number,
X01 Eagle, Boost or 148 mm, GXP, 175 mm,
and this originally came with the 32 tooth Eagle chainring.
No other useful information on the box, and inside the box, here is the crankset .
Now they usually come with the chainring right here, as this is the drive side arm,
but since I'm using ovals I asked the vendor to remove that round chainring that was supposed to be here
This is the little SRAM warranty booklet, there's not much information in here.
And the non drive side arm,
And here are the cranks, the drive side has the axle attached to it.
At the end you have the spindle this is just a rubber boot that
has to be removed when installing it.
The drive side obviously takes the chainring
The beauty of the SRAM cranks is that they are not Boost specific
however you would get the Boost chainline
by using the proper chainring.
You see the 3 mm offset is for Boost, the 6 mm offset would be for non Boost type of frames.
Installation of the chainring or removal is very simple.
You have 3 screws over there and if you read carefully right around here
you're going to see that you need a Torx T25 and 8-9Nm torque to install it.
This is a matte finish, the carbon, what you see
shiny here is a protective film.
This is where you would rub it with your shoes.
The cranks do come with crank boots that are
pre-installed from the factory, and on the non-drive side here, those would be pedal washers.
Removing the crank boot will reveal the length of the cranks.
In my case is a 175mm, I don't know what that yellow color means over there.
If you destroy the boots somehow, you can buy them separately.
Take a look in here, crank arm guard, that will be the part number
for these Eagle cranks.
BTW the boots for the Eagle cranks and the
previous generation, so 11 speed, they are not the same so they won't necessarily fit one another.
Just the cranks on the scale 443, grams
If I remember correctly the X1, so the aluminum cranks were 604g,
so 160 grams weight savings.
A 32T chainring, oval, 512g so this is about 70 grams.
For installation you're gonna need some waterproof grease, if you're touching the
chainring T25 Torx, otherwise an 8 mm Allen key that will tighten up that bolt
it's everything that's needed.
I actually have a lot of details
in my review of this X1 cranks, make sure you check that out.
If you're in the market for crank set these days
and you don't mind using the old technology from SRAM
GXP or BB30, these can be had for good discounts.
I think they are great cranks,
stiff enough, I don't know, I don't know if I ever notice the difference
between a stiff and not so stiff crankset.
But yeah, if you have any questions
let me know in the comments below.
I will put up a few links with more information if you're interested.
