Creo 2 Carbon Cranks

But can you send link to those DUB cranks that you say are very expensive, just for reference? Those force which I found also called DUB cranks, so it is confusing.

These are just the carbon crank arms for the Levo 2, but share the same fitment as the Creo 2. DUB refers to the spindle size (28.9mm I think). When looking for cranks, you must have 2 arms with no spindle attached, same as on the Creo 2

I see, so this are MTB one's, they for sure has wider Q factor. So actual situation is, that actually seems Specialized or any other brands like SRAM doesn't offer any kind of cranks specifically for Creo SL2, regardless of price.

I was using these as an example of what you are looking for, 2 separate arms with the DUB / BB30 interface to fit on to the motor spindle. I was not going to spend £500 on cranks when I could do the same for £120. My cheap carbon BB30's have been flawless for the last 1000 miles. The SRAM website is next to useless for Creo 2 parts

Question for those that have replaced the alloy arms with carbon, how noticeable the difference? I have a Creo 2 expert.

The carbon cranks are a fair bit lighter than the alloy ones. in the 175mm the alloy ones were 280g and the carbon ones about 170g. Although 100 odd grams a side does not sound much, done as a percentage, this is roughly a 65% drop on rotational mass. The carbon cranks do spin up quicker for sure. Not noticed any difference in stiffness or q factor

Had my LBS order a set from Specialized. They were $370 USD. Not sure how much of a difference they make but look great on my bike.

They will be much lighter than alloy ones, mine were 270g v 180g a side from memory. They spin up much quicker I find
