Fsa slk (light out of stk)
And rotor 3d+ (apx $400 more)
Am lookin around at info on SRAM s900 and see lots of different weights from 586-830 grant it some are with or without bb

SRAM’s website says 795g with BB.

Thanks In brackets after it is says Gxp … Also if bb is changed to ceramic will prob save a few grams so that’s why I was wondering actual chainset weight

I had a similar dilemma when I bought my S5 frameset. I ended up with the S900 but I never weighed it so I can’t help there.

I do really like the S900, feels plenty stiff, I have Ultegra and Red cranksets and it feels better than either of them (subjective and maybe a nod to the bigger spindle diameter).

I did have a tough time finding the S900 in BB30 though and ended up getting one from England. Hopefully you won’t have the same trouble but my shop couldn’t seem to get a straight answer from QBP or SRAM to get one and there didn’t seem to be many shops with them in stock.

shameless plug
You could always try this used S900 at a great price.

Hammydad,

My team mate Jeff and fellow slow twitch user sent you my contact info. I cannot send messages for 10 days due to being new to ST. Dang spammers always mess it up for the good guys.

Thanks,

Doug

the bb30 50/34 s900 crank is 640g. I weighed mine when I took it off my stock R3.
