been out of the loop of whats hot and whats not lately, but bent my XT drive side crank the other day on a rock 😳 so i need a new pair. would previously had gone and got xt's but due to baby/new house mortgage/maternity etc i'm on a pretty tight budget

anyone using the latest deore cranks? any good? not too fussed over a few grams but are they comparable to slx in terms of stiffness/bendiness etc. must be 170mm length and ideally come with 26/36 rings (which the deore triple does as i can fit my old bashring to make it a double with bash set up)

Not used the cranks, but have used recent Deore brakes, shifters and mech. It all works absolutely fine. My XT stuff is a bit lighter and uses slightly nicer looking materials and has a bit slicker action. But the deore brakes stop fine and the shifters and mech all shift with no issues too.

I'm using some new Deore cranks at the moment, although i've never had any better i.e. SLX/XT I think they're great!!

Got them on a Blue Pig 1x10 with Zee FR mech:

From Ribble as well little bit over £40 i think.
