Lightest Carbon Crankset for Road & Gravel?
Consider subscribing to follow my "Worlds Lightest Trek Checkpoint Gravel Build" as it gets finished up in the next week or two and see some truly amazing weight items that are affordable!
2025 Checkpoint SL5 size ML.
Frame & fork - exactly 2000g including the rock guard & chain catcher. Weight right out the box ready to ride no pedals = 9.445g or 20.8lbs in size "ML" which has the same reach as my 58cm madone, i'm 186cm or 6ft 1 for size reference. My last 4 bikes were all under 6.8kg so let's see how close we can get this thing!!
Some #'s in this build...
New crankset 46t 1x 172.5mm - 539g old 707 = -168
New 11-34 cassette - 194g old 426 = -232
New seat & post - 189g old 544 = -355

2025 Trek Checkpoint Dura Ace Weight Weenie Build
Просмотров 2,3 тыс.21 час назад
Bought this thinking id just change the bars/stem, seat/post, toss on a high end cassette and thats it, ya know, a budget friendly but high performance, fun in the rain/shitty road kind of bike. Something where i'm not accumulating wear & misery on my baby (the 6.5kg Madone)... Well a few moms clicks later and ive got Dura Ace and a bunch of weight weenie parts on the way...

    I’m really glad I stumbled across your videos on the Madone. I’ve been toying with the idea of getting a used Gen 7 and was curious whether 6.8 -7.0kg is attainable in a size 56, with 50mm deep wheels. Looking at your build I’m guess the weight savings came from: - Saddle - Wheels and tyres - Crankset - Cassette Would you consider posting the weights of your components?

    I have some ones that look like those off AliExpress. I think they're called lesse carbon cranks. But those ones come in really short sizes. I bought 3 in 150mm and one thats 135mm. I'm building up a bike after Christmas. They look really good, actually I think the finish is better than the elille carbon cranks. I've been running 2 sets of those for a year. I'm not concerned about them snapping

    Nice video. This wasn't a problem in the past as long as bottom bracket and spacers installed properly. I encountered this recently with my newly built mtb. Bought some 1x chinese brand cranks, shimano like spindle with sram direct mount chainring, installed on 73mm bb shell with shimano bb52. After installation, drive side crank arm was outboard by 5mm than non drive side. I switch the included 2.5mm spacer from drive side to the non drive side bb and the crank arms are at equal distance relative to the center of seat tube. The next problem I faced was the chain ring touches the chainstays, and chainline was almost at 45mm, my solution, bought a 3mm offset chainring and chainline is now at 47mm. It was both perfect, biomechanically and chainline.

    Nice video! I see you already have 150+ subs…congrats! 🎉 I think a lavalier mic would be helpful for your videos especially as you walk around your repair area with bikes. DJI makes a nice lav mic. They sync with a receiver that mounts to your camera. One other idea: I told you that I use the Sony A74 for the Giro Aries Spherical helmet video. That is a pro camera and it’s very nice. It will be amazing for a studio in your repair area. If you want a more portable setup that still shoots excellent 4k video and is compatible with a lav mic: check out the DJI OSMO Pocket 3. There are many RUclips videos about it. You can put it in a pocket or under seat carry bag - it’s small: then you can shoot wherever you go. The lav mic syncs to the camera with Bluetooth and it’s really simple and good. Hope this helps. Best of luck! -Jeff
