The HUDUD Carbon Road Bike Crankset is an ultra-lightweight option with carbon arms, a titanium axle, and a claimed sub-300g weight, but users report significant compatibility issues with Shimano chainrings due to an incorrect spider diameter, and vendor support has been unresponsive. While it offers good machining and a nice finish, potential buyers should be cautious about fitment and quality control.

Reviews & Ratings
11:46The reviewer briefly mentions the HUDUD Carbon Road Bike Crankset 277g Ultra Light 24mm Titanium Axle Easton Spider Fit Xcadey Sigeyi Power Meter but does not provide detailed analysis.
The Hudud Carbon Road Bike Crankset is a lightweight carbon crankset available in 165mm length with 110x4 spider configuration. Users report it has a listed weight of 309g +/-10g but actual measured weight was 318g. The spindle features innovative weight reduction design with a larger bore diameter between threaded ends. The carbon finish is described as nice satin with visible weave and simple branding. However, significant compatibility issues exist with Shimano chainrings, particularly with the spider diameter being incorrect (95-96mm vs Shimano's 94mm), preventing proper fitment of DA chainrings. The vendor has been unresponsive in resolving this issue over several weeks.
