Not so heavy. But a tad more than red/SR/DA. They are bloody well made, and stiff as feck. Also, dont those^ cranks come with alu axles? My rotors have a nice steel one.
They drill out the core, which is'nt as clever as the way Shimano does it. But then CNC isnt the best way to make stuff either, just the sexiest (in my dodgy opinion).
The chainrings seem to work against a fluid pedal stroke when cruising. Forcing you to regress slightly to stamping up and down, to compensate for the periodic extra GI. This effect is pretty subtle though, and I havent tried moving the rings around (might just move the inner clockwise one bolt). But when you give it the beans, they combine with the stiff cranks, to give an excellent responsive feel.
