1. In a carbon crankset (incl. bottom brancket) , what exactly are the carbon parts? i know the crankarms for sure, but what else?

2. the set I am looking at weighs 935 grams (including bottom bracket). It is a triple. Is the weight savings considerable to standard crank sets?

Thank you for help.

The carbon cranks that I have are only carbon arms.

If you know what set you are looking at, go to their web site. It should have weights.
