cheap n+1 bike is going to be 1 x 10 and I need new cranks

Am thinking I should just get a deore triple (as opposed to double for chainline reasons)?

Any better alternatives for around the same price (£60)?

Thanks

Go Deore, bang for the buck has little to beat it.

I went Deore. £50 odd, got £20 odd for the rings. If you think the BB costs a tenner, then you get cranks for £20.

I’m running Deore double cranks in a 1×10 setup as I prefer the aesthetics of the double crank arm.
Using 1 x spacer on DS and 2 x spacers on NDS for the bottom bracket.
Superstar 30t NW ring which has the built in standoffs to stop the chain rubbing on the crank arms and chainline is perfect.

Thanks all much appreciated as ever

I went 1×10 with a Deore triple and Superstar N/W, no problems here whatsoever. Like mcnultycop I sold the (used) rings on for about £20 which recovered some of the cost.

Remember to get single chainring bolts since the ones with the crank will be too long – about a fiver from Charlie the Bikemonger.

i went for the same option as unovolo, the aesthetics are better than with a triple.

Double again, looks better ascetically. Not had any issue with chainline.

The new Deore cranks are fantastic. Stiff and not really that heavier than SLX / XT. With a CRC discount offer they cost me £43 with BB.

I bought the black ones and wish I’d bought the polished silver ones now though because the black anodising has rubbed off a bit. Apart from that though all good.
