These cheap Racework carbon cranksets from AliExpress have been failing, but what’s the problem, and is there an alternative?

Lightweight carbon cranksets are generally VERY expensive, but earlier this year a Chinese company called Racework produced their N1 crankset. It’s a lightweight carbon crankset, at a REALLY great price, and I bought one from their store on AliExpress as soon as I could.
I fitted it to my Chinese carbon road bike, but after 1000 miles, problems started to show. The steel inserts used to help lift the chain onto the big chainring started falling out, and reports of the carbon arms cracking were coming to light.
In this episode, I'll cover these issues, show you if Racework have addressed them, and also provide a fantastic alternative from a brand called RIRO.

I'm the guy from Paris that posted these pictures on WW ! The seller did end up sending me a replacement crank arm ! However, the axle then failed ... The knurling on the end of the axle got destroyed due to the too low pinching forces leading to play in the non drive side crank arm. I should have known better with such a cheap crankset. In the end I got a Praxis crankset that worked flawlessly since ! Btw I of course used a torque wrench to tighten everything, and the arm cracked at 4 N.m

But with CERTAIN Chinese stuff you can get all three. But you have to be careful about the brand, and guys like Luke definitely are part of the due diligence. Personally, I have great experiencexwith Cjinesexwheels, frames, handlebars and saddles. But cranks and groupsets would be a bridge too fsr for me at this point. Maybe later.

I knew it! That crankset has been sitting in my Aliexpress cart for months. Undecided if I want to buy because some parts on your bike just shouldn’t be carbon. Your crankset receives a lot of power and focus consistently. Why would you want that carbon? This video this the deciding factor. Deleted from my cart. Great video thanks!

As someone who has a RaceWork crankset that broke the same described in this video, and was only able to get a replacement (old design) ND arm after literally weeks of negotiation with an honestly totally clueless RaceWork rep (and I say this as someone who worked as a CSR for years), one thing that is additionally better about the Riro is that even the revised RaceWork's ND crankarm isn't sculpted to account for your heel. I've never seen a crankset that has one arm with a heel cutout and one without one. It's a RaceWork exclusive apparently. I'd just steer clear of them in general, both for design and customer support reasons.

That 24mm axle at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="717">11:57</a> looks like it's cast. A forged aluminium axle wouldn't need to be that thick. Torsional failures of these things are usually cup and cone fractures (that's not a pun on bearings), that failure looks like damage at a crystalline level.

Those RIRO chainrings look really nice, a lot of Ali-ex aluminium stuff tend to be media blasted probably to make anodizing prep easier (but maybe to hide less than stellar machining/tool marks too). I highly recommend PassQuest and STONE chainrings form Ali' they aren't super cheap or mega light but quality wise I'd put them up there with brands I've used in the past like Wolftooth, Garbaruk and Blackspire.

Interesting comment about the axle material at the end, which is one of the most important points. Aluminium axles are used in cranks, but generally on 30mm spindles, like BB30, so the larger tube diameter means that aluminium is alright for this. Now that you have pointed out that this crankset has a 24mm aluminium axle I would be very wary using it. The same strength to weight/density considerations are the reason historically you have small diameter steel tubes on bike frames and larger diameter but thinner walled aluminium frames, jokingly called "Coke can tubing" on some early aluminium mountain bikes.

Thanks Luke from another Luke for all of your incredibly informative reviews. I had considered this crankset when I replaced my road bike crankset recently, but upon seeing this video I'm super glad I decided to stick with forged aluminum cranks from Litepro rather than going carbon. I'm not a super weight weenie so the extra 150-200g weight of aluminum really doesn't bother me.

I have the original racework crankset. Its one ring so no steel inserts to lose but I did strip the hole for the allen key in one of the bolts at around 6nm. I went to 5 different shops in town but couldn't find an m5 bolt that is long enough and has a small enough head to fit into the carbon recess on the non-drive side arm. I got step bolts with a small enough tapered head but they weren't long enough and other metric bolts tended to have 8mm heads which is just too large to fit. I ended up cranking it down as hard as I could without a torque wrench and completely stripped the hexbolt to a round hole. The cranks are on and have been working but I don't think I'll ever be able to remove them without destroying the non-drive arm. Oh and I'm 6'2" 250lbs with no cracks (so far)

Years ago bought an Easton carbon crankset. Worked well for a while but eventually failed. Wanted to save the weight of the original aluminum Raceface crank Decided on Rotor 3D crank and have never looked back. Aluminum crank saved weight due to their hollow crank arm design. Also installed Rotor aluminum seat post and stem all weighing less than many high end carbon competitors.

I still have not ridden them yet. I am hoping it will turn out well.

I have bought like 3 older style FSA megaexo carbon cranksets for between 25 and 50 euros on the local marketplaces in the last years. If you sand the decals off and relacker them they look awesome. FSA just always put hideos white and red stripes and logos on the beautifull carbon work. They are reliable and use the self extracting crank bolts. With most being just 110bcd. They fit many chainrings. And in the older Megaexo versions they come with steel axles. This beats unknown chinese cranks for safety, reliability and looks.

Just stick an 8 or 10mm allen key in the socket.

Please test the Sensah Empire Pro 2x12 shifters with a Sram 22 series derailleurs (red, force or rival) trying to make a configuration with a Sram AXS cassette (Red, Force or Riv) fully work with flattop chain.

What I want with this is to copy the Ratio idea, which transforms the Double Tap series 22, which are 2x11, into 2x12 with axs 10tooth cassette and flattop chain.

What a friend, I bought some Riro cranks and mounted them on a 68mm BSA frame and it was not compatible. Can I know which center axle is your bike since it doesn't fit on mine?

Carbon...is the saving of ounces really worth it for non-competitive bike riding/racing? Overall I would say not.

Anything lightweight, not just carbon parts. The steerer tube expander plug is one of the parts where I don't care about weight reduction. However, Cane Creek has a very light one that actually digs into the carbon steerer tube with a very small surface area. When I first saw it, I already had a feeling it's no good. So I'd say not all parts are worth the weight reduction.

I’m wondering if there are anymore carbon cranks in the pipeline. Looking at a Cybrei crank from Chinacycling however there are rockbros cranks on AliExpress that look similar for under £200 🤔
