SUZ18 - I wanted 165mm cranks and Shimano doesn't offer them in their GRX line at the top tier (only in the heaviest crank). So I found a chain ring compatible with Shimano that fits on Sram. It's a little bit Frankenstein but I love the cranks, and it's what my fit needs.

Looks good. But why the SRAM Red crankset? Just curious. Seems to be an misfit.
