This Racework carbon fibre crankset from AliExpress, its cheap and lightweight, but how does it perform?

Carbon fibre cranksets are generally very expensive, and I've been searching on AliExpress for a cheap alternative for years. Recently a set of carbon cranks from a brand called Racework has been showing up, so I bought myself a set.
It makes use of a one piece aluminium chainring, and the cranks arms are composed of a lightweight carbon fibre. I chose a compact 50-34, with 170mm crank arms, and they are incredibly lightweight at only 548g. Just for a point of comparison, a standard Shimano Tiagra 4700 crankset weighs around 950g, so this is nearly half the weight.
Out on the road it feels great, and shifts really well. Plus it looks incredible in my opinion, and the gold decals are definitely growing on me.
In this episode, i'll cover the unboxing, show you the construction and then get these out on the road.
So after editing the video, turns out the affiliate links don't work 😢 but regardless, this is a link to the seller I used:

With regards the axle breakages, If you assume constant torque from the rider. A steel axle at 24mm Outside Diameter and an aluminium axle at around 29/30mm outside diameter has a comparable shear stress in the side wall. When the axle diameter is made smaller but the material is not compensated ie 24mm aluminium - you may run into some problems. It should be noted that you can usually alleviate these by making the side walls thicker but then you add weight. I'd be more worried about hardened steel bearings going into 30mm axles which is why I prefer 24mm (shimano axles) with a delrin spacer and then the bearing - basically it protects the expensive component which is usually the crank.

Utterly frustrating because they clearly know-how to make something. Just needed 20 more mins at the design desk to make it original. Will that mindset ever change? Who likes this stuff?

I've been running these Racework carbon cranks for about 5 months and was an early adopter. I'm using them on both a 2x and 1x setup. So far I'm quite happy with them due to the weight savings and performance. Neither the Racework Store or any other store selling these cranks knew the bolt torque settings on the non-drive side crank arm. I've been torquing the bolts to 8nm and I check periodically to make sure they stay secure. I think torqued any higher and you run the chance of stripping the bolts. Unfortunately these cheaper AliEx cranks seem to use M5 hex bolts which aren't as sturdy as M6 bolts that Shimano uses.

Hello, Luke! Thank you very much for doing this amazing work! your videos are very helpful when choosing good spare parts, and your humor really lifts the mood in the evening after work) Can you tell more about your hip joint and how you came to the decision to lengthen the axle of the pedals? maybe you have articles about bikefit in your memory or some of your observations. I suffer from the problem of narrowing the gap of the left hip joint and I can’t adjust my position on the bike so that my left knee does not ache and I sit straight on the saddle.

So I used to feel a tightness in my groin area, especially when getting the power down when I was in the saddle. I didn't really know what it was until I watched a video from Cam Nichols where he sat down with a bike fitter and chatted about it. There are some really easy tests you can do at home to check if you have any hip impingement, so I would just have a quick Google around the topic. The pedals extenders I use are definitely not a sliver bullet to eliminate knee pain, but they have helped me enormously. They are not particularly expensive either, so might be worth experimenting to see if it can help you balance your pedal strokes.

The reason why SRAM DUB can get away with aluminum axles is that they are thicker than the standard 24mm axles used on most cranksets like Shimano. The did it to compensate for the flex that you get from smaller 24mm standard crankset axle diameter; since aluminum is softer than steel (as you mentioned) and thus it flexes more under load.

Hi Luke, I really like your videos. I am a little concerned about the combination of a 24mm diameter axle and a material like aluminum that is subject to fatigue. As Hambini pointed out aluminum axles are usually 30mm or at least 28.95 for Dub. I think it is no accident that nobody else uses 24mm aluminum axles. Obviously the torque load is the same that snapped your other 24mm aluminum axle... I had a nasty crash once caused by a chain slip in full power acceleration and still remember how first my foot fell through and then the bike took off... The failure mode would be similar in your case. I have never written a comment to any KZbin video. I am only doing it now because I don't want you to get hurt. I learn a ton from your videos and want you to be able to continue with all body parts intact...😊

Can you tell me if they come in different color schemes? That yellowish gold decal just wouldn't go with my paint scheme at all. Also, I'll look forward to you (hopefully) updating us on these cranks 6 or so months down the road.

these would make a lovely 1x transmission for road or for gravel/CX... are there a variety of chainrings available for such a combo? I'm thinking about a 36 T front with a 10-36 cassette in the back (12 speed) - here'd another happy camper :)

Those Goldix one piece chainrings you have on those flexy cranks are lighter if you really want to chase those grams. So annoying they don't do these in 165 though. 😢

I'm happy to see the alloy chainrings. I was waiting to cringe when the rings were revealed to be forged carbon. Carbon chainrings are a cute idea on paper, but too brittle to be economically smart to purchase unless you're swimming in money or on a pro team where your bike is rebuilt between stages. lol

I really like your Videos and appreciate all your efforts. There is one thing only that bugs me - why the hell do you have a bottlecage on the seattube but none on the downtube? My inner monk says thats illegal! :) But apart from that, keep the good videos coming please!

Don't know where you got the weight of the SRAM Red but mine weigts 544g in 172.5mm with 52/36 chainrings on. So still a bit lighter since you haven't included the chainring bolts & preload cap in your weight comparison and if you can get your hands on a used set they are not necessarily more expensive. Otherwise this seems to be a good and available option.

Great video! As a heavier rider, I am bummed about the weight limit. Please update us if they happen to get back to you with the exact number.

Those unbranded cranks look very much like my FSA carbon crankset. I got them used, so no idea how old that design is. I won't be surprised if a new alloy set is actually lighter. 1:00

Nice find, is this system compatible with a shimano left crank? Because I'm using a magene shimano 105 left only power crank, it would be super nice if they are compatible
@Gerus2000
@Gerus2000 Жыл бұрын
yes, the crank axle size, is the same with all shimano crank. So you can use any brand power crank compatible with shimano.

would you say you felt the difference in rotational weight while pedaling compared to heavier tiagra which is almost double the weight or rotational weight in this area of the bike is not really something you notice?
These cheap carbon cranksets are failing...
