Elilee X310 Carbon crank, not a THM killer, but pretty promising 24mm option!Slayer of Grams2025-01-18 | I little peak at the Elilee X310 crank that is making the rounds on weight weenie build around the world.

I don't want to pay the premium the major brands charges for it though. So this was a very affordable way for me to try and see what the fuss is all about.

GRX FC-RX610 to THMSlayer of Grams2024-11-16 | Here's little silly one! Since I bought the entry lever GRX FC-RX610 crank to make up my own mind regarding the shorter crank trend, I thought it would be funny to see what a potential weight saving would be going from an entry lever crank to the absolute endgame, the THM Clavicula SE.
I aware that it is not an apples to apples comparison since the crank length and chaining size is different. The weight saving would be even higher if they were matched. Weigh savings would probably also be higher this was a 2X comparison.
By no means am I advocating that you need upgrade your crank. The GRX610 works flawlessly at what it's suppose to do....It's heavy as s**t though ;)
