I’m fed up of replacing expensive FSA bottom brackets every 6 months, so I’m thinking of trying one of these in 48/34 with the appropriate square taper BB.
I had a version of that Stronglight Impact on my old CX. Lasted well although it was absolutely wrecked when I finally got rid of the bike – chainset had somehow survived 4 Three Peaks and 5 years of general riding. Heavy but utterly reliable, never a creak or wobble out of it.
Got Rotor chainset with Middleburn rings on my current CX but that’s outside of monksie’s price range!
Bit boring though, aren’t they?
What kind of excitement are you looking for in a chainset?!
