I have been eyeballing this crankset for a while and it seems to look similar to a omnium with that hollowtech spindle design. For $40 That seems too cheap to be true. Of course I doubt It would be on par with the omniun crankset in terms of quality, but would it seem like a good cheap alternative to my standard square tapered crankset cause I want to shave some weight off my bike.

Would not buy.

Would not buy.

i dunno why you wanna look like you ride a state so bad as to buy that

looks cranky

Why does everyone think GXP cranksets are so much lighter than those using a square taper bottom bracket? 165mm Omniums weigh 825g including the BB, whereas a 165mm/49t Miche Primato crankset and corresponding BB weighs 830g. Are those 5 grams (about the same weight as half a postcard) really going to matter to you?

Also, the crankset you linked to looks like it sucks.

Also, it has a steel chainring, so it will not be very lightweight anyway.

Yes! that its true price. Crank aluminium, but chainring it steel. I mean nice price

I dont have much money to buy bling components, Its just $40 I wont care if it breaks or anything goes wrong I just want to experiment on how it compares to the one I use.

It was a typo, I searched for several other sellers of the same product and they all say it has an aluminum chainring and it has a claimed weight of 901g including the BB.

If you don't have much money, you should save your money and buy something that's worth your money.

That's still quite heavy, and it's doubtful you'll save much if any weight over your current setup. Cheap stuff is cheap stuff.

Your logic is useless here.

I mean, I'd care about nearly killing myself when this sketchy piece of hardware fails. If nothing else, a top tube to the crotch is enough of a terrible outcome to decide to buy something better.

Is this for the same 32lbs sled you were thinking of buying a new wheelset for?

If so going to have to go with the why don't you just sell it and buy another bike option.

I knew it was going to be garbage before I even opened the link but to be fair I decided to look at it first just to make sure and I was correct. I wouldn't waste my money on no-name crap. Being cheap usually doesn't work out because it ends in expensive headaches on down the line. You want components on your bike to give you some piece of mind and if you are perusing no-name stuff and can't find anything on it, it makes more sense to just stay away than ask questions about it.

When looking at ketchup spend an extra buck or two and get something decent rather than trying to go with Number One USA Happy Merica Brand Tomato Flavor Red Sauce Product which you found on some random website. Sure they may look the same but one is more likely to taste good and the other is likely to give you intestinal parasites and contain more crap than a terlit!
