I have a set of old Hone cranks and would like something lighter, but with all the variations of cranks in SRAM, Raceface and E13 ranges I am not sure what to get.
I'm pretty sure I want a shimano BB compatible setup, and the lightest cranks I can get away with for under £200. Standard 104mm BCD too. Comparing weights gets even more confusing as some brands include the BB and rings in the weights, others don't.
Any examples that would save more than a gram or two over the hones?
I'm now a fan of the SRAM cranks, running them with a Hope BB and adapter.
for 2x-3x http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/sram-x9-10-speed-chainset/rp-prod84849 these are what I run and they have the removable spider. Direct mount 1x is really nice.
Fitting is one allen key for the crank, same for removal. Can't over tighten onto the BB so easy to use.

XT +3
SLX +1
XT are heavy. I'll look into the sram cheers.
SLX
Without the big heavy steel rings they're very light.
Expensive place to save weight
Fastest weight saving was taking the spider off and going direct mount.
Xtr 11 speed trail cranks are what you need with a 32 tooth ring.
