Got the crankset, cassette, and s28 carbon wheels for what I almost bought just the wheels for 2 years ago. Solid upgrades all around to the ripley af, while dropping over a pound! Also picked up the super cheap codes at bc and half price specialized tires. Nice to find bike stuff on sale again

I ordered the cassette yesterday evening and today they just cancelled my order due to an "inventory error. " Definitely disappointed since this is the exact cassette I was looking for and it's so pricey normally.
I'd grab this wheelset if I could get it with the Hydra hubs, but that combo is $1425. $625 just for the hub upgrade. Might as well go with the i9 355's for $1886 all in.
Be prepared for a cancelled order…. They cancelled my order for the SRAM cassette due to "Low Inventory". Retailers should understand that they lose more customers when doing that. Better customer service would be to keep the order and send it when they replenish stock.
Are the x01 cranks even worth the minimal weight drop over aluminum GX cranks, especially when it's at the lowest point on the bike? Serious question, not trolling.

For the majority of the circumstances no. If most of your rides and races are up some significant grades then maybe. Always remember the most important thing is to get out there ride and improve your strength and technique. The most critical component on a bicycle is the rider.
An article for reference that discusses the derailleur part of this equation and why it is slightly more important when you take the derailleur into the equation: https://www.fanatikbike.com/blogs...1%20models.
