Can you clarify what bike you have and the year?
I have a 2013 CAAD10 Black Inc but to be honest, the more I read about the SISL2's and their issues with cracking, it has me reconsidering my choices. I've always wanted a Hollowgram but I'd also like to have some piece of mind while I'm out of the saddle climbing knowing my crank is going to hold up. I'm not exactly a small rider @230lbs.
I've also been looking at the new Easton EC90SL crankset that closely resembles the Hollowgram (arms and spindle) and is another lightweight option at 575g in a 52/36 configuration. I have the new EC90SL 38mm carbon wheels and their crank would match perfectly as they have the same outline lettering. Or, because I'm upgrading all of my components to the new Ultegra 8050 di2, just go for the budget option and get the Ultegra R8000 crank along with some Wheels mfg 24mm adapters but that adds almost 200 grams which goes against my inner weight weenie standards?
Cost wise, the Hollowgram with SISL arm and 10 arm spidering would be right at $630, Easton EC90SL $425, and Ultegra R8000 with adapters $260.
