Am I missing something ? to get any significant saving you would have to install something like a THM Clavicula
I have the FSA 386 EVO crankset and the 386 EVO ceramic installed on the Litepseed L1r and it's not super light. You don't feel any additional stiffness over the Dura Ace 9000 crankset and the bb86 bottom bracket that I have in my Giant TCR Advanced Team SL 0 ISP (2011).
Thanks for that info. My Red crank weighs in at near the published 760 g, but I forgot that is with the BB while the 553 g for the K-Force Light is, I suppose, without the BB. So it looks like the weight differential I was expecting will be shy by the weight of the BB. I will see what that is for the 386 EVO cups and bearings when I get them. Worst case, the weight savings will only 1/4 lb instead of 1/2 lb. Oh well! Live and learn. I'm still happy with the deal. I will update all the numbers when I get them. And I wasn't expecting to feel a stiffness difference. Just talking about what is advertised for the oversize spindle. I wouldn't know the difference if it bit me on the butt.
