From old to new
Before...
170mm Shimano SLX cranks with Cycle Undergound custom 33t chainring and KMC 710SL chain.
And after...
170mm Middleburn RS7 with 32t Uno chainring and KMC X9L gold chain. Made a little boo-boo when installing the self extractors, but it doesn't really bother me.

Do you know something I don't?

It's a 9speed chain, not SS specific

Not a SS setup...
It's a 1x10, but so far I really dig it. And if/when the bearings go, I should be able to replace them with some Enduro BB30 bearings.

What does that mean? I have a PC991 chain on my SS.

Sweet. If it decides to morph my bike into a 9 speed somehow, I'll send some positive rep your way.

LOL, it means that it's a chain designed to work with cassette and derailleur.
Chains like that have inner and outer link plates designed to enhance shifting.
It's high possible that a chain like that in SS setup will drop under loads. Unless you have perfect chain line.

To get the best chain line and q-factor adjustment possibilities, are there any modern good and stiff alternatives to square taper/isis/octalink?

so using a SS specific chain will NOT drop under load even if you have a bad chainline? explain.

I know what it literally means. I've never had a problem with using old 9sp chains. Next one on my SS will be an old 10sp chain. Perfect chain line is pretty easy to obtain with a single speed specific bike or any cassette body hub.
Any chain will drop if it's loose or has a bad chain line.

F=ma, don't be a da/dt

X0 is probably the narrowest external bearing mountain crank at 156mm. If your stays are narrow, you could try roadie cranks.

Did you paint the crank yourself?
It looks like some (or all) of those rings could be Chris King??
Did they come black, or did you paint those as well?

The finish on the arms, rings, and CK cogs is a very hard ceramic material.

These ones look nice! and that ceramic black coat certainly adds a super-clean finish!... but for my liking they are far, far, far from your beautiful polished/bling XTR 960SS like those posted two weeks ago! Variety is the spice of life!

The difference my friend is in choices of frame. The black 960's would not complement the Ti Crisp nor it them, but the polished with Ti will be fantastic. The black set was made for a new black carbon Niner and should be killer stealth, BAB (bad ass black), like GT's ZaskarX in 2000.

Hollowgram SL 175mm arms with Ti HBC 32t ring and Token BB30 Tiramic ceramic bearings. I put this together to get a weight for these...534g...now that's light for an alloy crank.
