Default Swapping out XTR crank set

Need help from up-to-date techies.

I have a new in box S-works Epic with XTR 175 cranks. I want to swap
them out with 170's. I'm looking for a shop or someone that'd make a
swap but not comming up with anything.

But on the other hand...I'd like to get cranks with a narrower
Q-factor. And..I'd like to go super lightweight. Does anyone know
what crankset this might be?

thanks,
Ron

You should take it back to the shop you bought it from and swap out the
parts for what you want.

The only thing that would definitely give you those things is a road
crankset. I've seen it before on racing mountain bikes. Q is always
narrower with road cranks (chainstay clearance may be an issue), and you
can save some weight depending on the crank in question. I was just
looking at the FSA site, and they have an impressive line right now. Q-
factor numbers and weights are given.
