Sorry another crank question. Just got them in the post - v pleased and quick delivery. I know the BB are are sealed as wooly jumper and have a Hope BB as back up when and If...

Anyway I am trying to place them Model and Year - Before I bought them I thought 2009 - Same cranks and rings as the 09' lights but with a std BB. Am I wrong. I think these were OEM - came boxed - but I think I can't find them on the FSA website or 'tinternet as tehy are OEM's. They also say 5th generation on teh non-drive crank arm. Photo:

They aren't as late as 2009 as the rings changed to black and there was a red and white stripe running off the crank arms onto the chainrings from 09 onwards.

Think they are a 2008, but still a great price for a great crank. The bbs aren't all that bad, but switch to a Hope when it is trashed.

Is the weight quoted on the O-O website correct? 900g for a carbon chainset?

Someone on WW who bought them said they came in substantially heavier than claimed, but IIRC they claimed less than 900g at that time.

Wow - Although this is 100g heavier than XTR and similar to the XT - HAVE you seen the price of XT/XTR chainrings !!!
