Thanks

I can't find it, but someone had sent me the numbers a while back and as I seem to recall they were a bit heavier than the FSA Gossamer cranks... somewhere around 2,000 grams with Giga Pipe bottom brackets (+/-).

Thanks a bunch. I thought they were close to the Gossamers.

Thanks a bunch. I thought they were close to the Gossamers.

The new GXP (external bearing) models may be very close to the Gossamers... noting that the Gossamers are about some of the lightest and more reasonably priced tandem cranks on the market. TruVative's Elita are also pretty good / nearly as light as already noted.

As it happens, I just removed a set of ISIS Elita's a couple days ago. Here are the weights:
BB #1: 288g
BB #2: 289g
Front: 582g
Back: 918g

For what it's worth, I replaced them with a set of FSA Gossamer GXP's primarily to change the stokers length from 170 to 165. I didn't weight the replacements as I don't really count grams on the tandem.

Shider, thanks a bunch for the accurate info you supplied, wow. Can you tell me what bottom brackets you were using.

Thanks again,
