If you do get the CX crank get one with a sensible tooth count
The SRAM CX1 cranks come without a chainring, that's why they're cheaper than a road chainset. The 1×11 road cranks with one thick/thin ring tend to be more expensive than a regular road set with two rings. Sounds like a hipster tax :-)

Oh, OK. I'm sure I've seen them for sale complete with ring and BB in the past for crazy cheaps: probably unboxed OEM takeoffs.
@mishmash11 the new gen Rival cranks have the same detachable spider interface so they would be a goer too. Not significantly porkier than the carbon force cranks despite being solid om-nom style forged arms. There's a GXP version for sale in the classifieds now.

I believe so.
I haven't done it, so maybe check elsewhere first.
If you do get the CX crank get one with a sensible tooth count and I might take it off you :)
