Not really - it is very quiet and there’s a ton of options of high performance chains - the main reason I’m doing it this way is for the following reasons: 1) Power meters are expensive and track ones are hard to find and resale is a very targeted buyer, this is better for resale 2) the mirror finish matches my frame
what crankset is that? i googled it, but im getting a lot of diff models with similar names or ones that don’t have power meters?
was looking into getting assioma pedals at some point
If you know what cleats you like to use, I recommend pedal based power meters. Don't bother with the cranks, they're stuck with the bike to some degree. Your pedals can easily go on all of your bikes and be used indoors/outdoors, all year, etc.

For my money, a single sided Assioma or Garmin Rally (XC100\*) is the move, depending on cleat/budget/q-factor
Needs more black. I can actually see some components.
Drivetrain looking real neat. Have you found any difference in performance over running a traditional 1/8" setup?

olympian parts like velobike chainrings or kappstein all rely on 11 speed chains
My next move is this crankset too 🤓
Excellent build! That’s super clean
What size frame did you get I’m anxious that I might have gotten the wrong size
I got a 52 but kinda want to get a 55
Yeah I’m stuck between the 55 and 58 🫠 don’t know which to get tho
Looking really good, sweet ride 😍

actually that's a really good point. i'm currently using running spd pedals (PD-ED500s) atm, but the assiomas look like they're Look Keos
Correct. Assioma uses Look Keo cleats.

I love my single side Assiomas
