Can you recommend a crank set for a single speed build? I'm going to run it 32 front and 20 rear. I will also (probably) use a hollow B/B if that makes any difference in choosing!

Thanks All!

Hollow BB discards a lot of the blingy things that get the beardies all excited such as white industries and middleburn (I don't think their new hollowtech cranks have an uno spider yet)

just go for what ever takes your fancy, SS is supposed to be a cheap/anarchic/anti big bike corp thing, rather than some fashonista niche****fest that it seems to have mutated into 😀

Deore HT2's here. Been on a year now, no worries.
32-20 is a bit frustrating unless its pretty hilly.

Takisawa2,

What do you run on a 29er s/s 32 x ?

Hilly in Yorkshire!

Brilliant rant 🙂

Don't hang around coffee/bike shops and you won't see those. Get out on the trails and get yourself covered with dogpoo. 🙂

whatever is in the parts bin at the time?

also, hopefully you will find some proper sized wheels in there too.
