I have been running the RaceFace Diabolus (Diabolical) crank-set for some time now, and I have never been happy with the weight of these cranks. They come with a life time guarantee, and are frankly bomb-proof, but this reliability comes at the weight of a small child. The RaceFace Atlas crank-set is what I have always wanted to put on my Wilson, but the company seem pretty stubborn about not releasing the Atlas with a 83mm BB. Clearly there is demand for such a crankset, as they made up a custom crankset for the whole Commencal team. It is possible to fit the smaller BB width on a Wilson, with some hack-sawing and filing, but as Ross found out, it's just a bit too tight. Crank / chain-stay rubbing action was always going to be inevitable.
FSA/Gravity seem to be the first company with a decent light-weight crankset offering that
comes in a 83mm BB spacing. Called the
Gravity Light Crankset the FSA/Gravity boys did away with the excuses of their peers, and filled a big vacuum in the DH componentry market. About time I say, so long Diabolicals, hello
Gravity Light....
