Midweek Unboxing - Lexon & Xcadey

[@bossebo3535]

Those lexon cranks look really interesting

[@kimwarner6050]

I wish they made these in 155mm

[@juliobarrera9305]

When is the updated video coming out. Crankset looks awesome with a great price. Would look even better without the graphics logo

[@TheBassallyear100]

are the Lexon logos removable? i.e. can they be peeled or sanded off if someone wanted all black crank arms?

[@johntan9231]

Any update review regarding this carbon crankset? 😊

[@TaichoCyclist]

So far the crankset user isn't long to get a review yet. Give it a while more. A few quick notes: • The stiffness is there. • Helps the bike get a weight diet 🥳 • The lockring on non-drive side came loose and is re-tighten; else there will be spindle play in bottom bracket 😑 • Inconsistent spider lockring versions as I got the 16-tooth external groove version which is impossible to tighten on powermeter. Latter version reportedly supplied with the CINCH 20-tooth internal splined lockring. 🤞🏻

​@@TaichoCyclist Is that 15 nm correct recommendation of the manufacturer recommendation it to tighten? Many GXP including Riro/Raceworks one, often recommends towards upper 30 nm 🤔

[@TaichoCyclist]

@@penzuugi we followed the recommended and so far held up fine. The last thing we want is having over-tightened parts and damaging it. Fingers crossed.

Are these cranksets compatible with a magene P505 PES 110BCD Power Meter?

[@TaichoCyclist]

Magene P505 is compatible with crankarms of the following patterns: 1) 505-S1108 / S1078: Sram 8-bolt crank arm (with Sram Red AXS, Force AXS, Red 22, and Quarq, etc.) 2) P505-S1103: Sram 3-bolt crank arm (with SRAM Force 22, Rival 22, S-900 etc.) 3) P505-R110X: Rotor Aldhu, Vegast etc. 45-tooth crank arm. The Lexon R1 uses the Easton Cinch pattern. So it is not compatible with P505 at present. Xcadey X-Power S is compatible because I have the powermeter.

[@emiliodiezjunior]

How this powermeter perform? Is it stable and precise?

[@TaichoCyclist]

It is pretty good with my first unit. This is my second one going on the TIME.

[@Brian-zn6sz]

Where did you purchase the Lexon cranks?

[@TaichoCyclist]

Aliexpress. Just search for it.

[@thomasschragen4446]

What about the LEXON crank set? Still going strong?

[@TaichoCyclist]

It is working fine till today without any issue that nothing I can say about it. Stiffness is good too so it simply gets the job done.

[@thomasschragen4446]

Thanks! Maybe we can enjoy your long/mid term review as well

[@TaichoCyclist]

@@thomasschragen4446 I am planning one once life issues are out of the way.

[@walkedintoawall4893]

@@TaichoCyclistany reason you decided not to use their chain rings? Also what brand chain rings did you opted to use with the crankset ?

[@TaichoCyclist]

@@walkedintoawall4893 simply because I have spare chainrings laying around at home so I decided against spending additional for things I already have. The ones at home are from a China brand called "STONE" 50/34 in anondised color of choice. They shift fine so far and fairly easy to find on Aliexpress.

[@alamakwah-sampak9648]

These looks exactly like Cybrei Cranks, but with different branding. Correct me if im wrong.😮

[@TaichoCyclist]

Similar but not identical. The shape generally is closely similar but the LEXON has indent on the front face of the crankarms. The alloy spider is exactiy identical between both brands. Well of course the largest difference is the price.
