Have a Spesh 09 Sworks FSR, size small – that I built recently. Crankset is XTR M980 3×10 – 175mm.
I have noticed that I have been having a fair few strikes while out riding – pedals striking ground while leaning/riding shallow ruts etc etc.
Now, according to the spesh site and the bike specs, the size small came with 172.5mm crank arms.
Having looked around – I cannot find a XTR 2011 crankset with 172.5mm crank arms – but can find 170mm.
Questions: Is it worth swapping out the crankset for 5mm differance in crank arm length, will this resolve the issue? Or, is it because the bike has a lower clearance (bb height) etc?
