EVOSID Road Bike Crank 165 /170/175mm Chainring 40/42/44/46/48T Gravel Bicycle Integrated Fire Crankset 11/12 Speed Folding Bike
CrankIf you are running a 24mm spindle, the easiest swap is for a Magene P5015 Base. It's a spider based Powermeter that comes with cranks (24mm spindle). So a super easy swap. Might need new chainrings though as they are BCD 110 4 bolt. It's as precise as they get and for ~250-300 USD depending on sales and local taxes, it's hard to beat on price either. Since you already have a 3bolt crank, you could also get the standalone Magene P515. That one has a 3 bolt SRAM style mount. Still would need new chainrings and the price isn't much cheaper if at all.
Bigrock Carbon Crank 24mm For Sram Cranks
CrankReceived mine, finish is great seems well made and simpler graphics than lots of of the carbon cranks coming from chinese manufacturers. I ordered 167.5mm with discount codes on Aliexpress came out to $238 CAD. Crank arms and spindle weigh 358g. With 3 bolts and spider 406g. Will be pairing with Dura Ace 9100 53-39 chainrings for a total weight of approximately 554g. Photos to come. Question for those who have these already, did anyone have to add the provided shims to ensure the spider bolts were tight?

WHEELTOP EDS TX Ceramic Pulley Wheel Upgrade Kit
OSPW
The reviewer discusses the WHEELTOP TX Carbon Fiber Ceramic Bearings pulley wheel cage upgrade kit in detail, focusing on its design, functionality, and performance. They highlight its oversized pulley wheel system with an 18-tooth tension pulley and 11-tooth guide pulley, ceramic bearings, and carbon fiber construction. The reviewer explains how the larger pulley reduces chain articulation and friction, potentially making the drivetrain quieter and more efficient. They also mention the aesthetic appeal of the product, including its 'outer space' look and multicolor light-reflecting decal. The reviewer tested the product on a Wheeltop TX rear derailleur and attempted to fit it on Shimano derailleurs with some modifications. They conclude that while the upgrade offers marginal performance benefits (approximately 1.63W power saving), it's primarily a bling upgrade for those who have already optimized other components.
AI Summary
Pros
- Reduces chain articulation and friction
- Ceramic bearings in both top and bottom jockey wheels
- Carbon fiber construction
more pros in the video
Cons
- Only compatible with Wheeltop TX rear derailleur without modification
- Requires adding 3 extra chain links (can be problematic for some users)
- 31g heavier than stock cage
more cons in the video
Key Points
- 18-tooth tension pulley and 11-tooth guide pulley
- Ceramic bearings with ceramic inner/outer races
- Carbon fiber construction with about 8 layers visible

Magene H64 Heart Rate Monitor Dual Mode Sensor Mover ANT Bluetooth Chest Strap Cycling Computer Bike Wahoo Garmin Sport
Heart Rate MonitorsUnfortunately, completely died in 2025 (maybe spring?) so 1,5y. Not bad for the original price, but also a little disappointing to have to scap it after so short time frame.
Until then, it worked without issues, usually had a good and fast signal, only occasional ghost (very fast?) heart rate, but usually fixed by restart + strap again / watering slightly
