About to slap the XO Transmission on my new Insurgent LS build. Very curious about crank compatibility, ie using existing XO carbon cranks instead of the new heavy aluminum ones. Seems like, from Cam's musings, one could just add on a 104 BCD adapter from, say, North Shore Billet, and get a new T-type ring and you're set? Weight difference between XO Transmission cranks only (550gm) and current XO Eagle carbon cranks (420gm) is 130gm (actual - just weighed it). Might have to hold onto my existing carbon cranks. ya ya, I don't care that some people 'don't care about weight'....
Also curious if it will still work 100% fine with oval rings (whenever they may be released) as I prefer ovals now. will have to just deal with the round ones for now haha!
