Just got these cranks and installed the cranks and got a little side to side wobble, which I think must have been the spider. The seller has been helpful, but I am not going to get into a return situation, etc, so I think I just want to trade. It seems that the hollowgrams are pretty sought after, so I am hoping there is enough value to trade them for some exogram red cranks.
Looking for 172.5 OR 175. Prefer 52/36, but I know that is hard to find. Considering compact or standard.
As I said, the chainline seemed to go side to side a little and I had not really investigated much since I had so much interest from people willing to trade for these. My guess is it is a spider issue, which thankfully, is so easily replaced with the hollowgrams. I am just not sure I want to buy a new spider, new rings, etc, when I am already in more than I want to spend on a crankset. A neighbor kid was over when I installed them and wanted to feel how light they were and dropped the non drive arm and spindle on the kitchen floor, but he is 4years old and it didn't fall far, and I can't imagine that would do anything compared to the forces they are under in other ways, etc.
There are some scratches, rubs, which i touched up with a black permanent marker, and they turned out pretty nice. The bolts are green. Ughh...but they can be replaced.
I am trying to be honest about a lot of the problems, etc, but they are hollowgrams.

It would just be for the arms, spindle, and spider. Spider may be crooked(can't imagine what much of else it could be), but hopefully the arms are good!
