Looking for lighter options than the SRAM T-Type XO crank that are readily available in the US. Inbound bike has a threaded DUB BB and T-Type XO transmission on it. I have a 3-bolt interface power meter. Willing to replace the BB and drop the power meter to shed some serous weight at the crank. Frame can accomodate 52 or 55 chain lines and I'm leaning toward pulling the new XO T-Type rear der and shifter and putting on my preferred kit (Shimano). What are contemporary options since the last time I was looking for light cranks was about five years ago.

eThirteen (which one)?
Easton arms, possible to get a 32 or 34T ring for those and what spindle length?
other?
Thanks.

XX1 Dub is still one of the lightest main stream crank available.
Use the newly released Wolftooth chainring for Sram T-Type chain and you are good to go. Keep DUB bb.

Sram XX1 still 1 of the lightest
Also Race Face Next SL G5, with the right spindle length and chainring offset, you can get a 55mm chainline (like I did on my Scalpel)

Was able to find an XX1 in the configuration that was needed, concur it's still one of the lightest and also let me use a NGEco power meter that I already had.
