False economy.

You'll buy these, use the rings, then buy and build a single speed around those two shiny crank arms, which you'll then replace with something more bling at the end.

Don't feed the N+1

Cheers for the heads up there Tim, I've ordered one for the bike I'm slowly building up for my 14yr old son. It's from CRC though so I look forward to it arriving on my desk in a box the size of a wardrobe 😉

Morning Slugwash dear boy. I hear you've bumped into a wee Scottish fella on the roads down your way!
Should be in Charlestown the second week of Easter. Fancy a beer? I might be able to squeeze a bike in the car given a small amount of encouragement.

good only if you need it, other wise expensive and wasteful for a 22t (cranks bin, 40+t bin, 32t bin)

I'll probably be in Lewes around Easter so could do a South Downs ride instead/as well 🙂

strange thing to post. 😕

Needing new rings for my work bike, they will do just dandy, if fact its a sq taper bb so i'll just put the chainset on.

lol

it's only cheap if you need that exact thing, not many I know running 22/32/42 9 speed. Don't know anyone on Sq taper at all. If you are stock up though.

fair enough (I see the who else has one post) I generally never got on with shimano rings either 🙂 there was a PSA on SLX shifters a while back, having tried some I could see why they were cheap too.

This is so true. But I can't help it.

What length bb axle for these cranks 113mm?

Just check if you can that the rings are replaceable as I bought a set of cranks with replaceable rings (photos showed replaceable also) and the cranks turned up as spot welded ones.It was also with CRC, however in their defence when I contacted them they refunded me and told me to keep them FOC.

Edit looks good

Edit again just ordered cheers

Probably. But then maybe not. I base it more on the frame than the cranks. For example, on my Inbred 853, 113mm was specified for the cranks but I found 118mm better suited to the frame

Looked it up from techdocs for somebody a couple of days ago, think it was 118 or 122.5 depending on chainline requirements, feel free to double check.

I thought the race face respond double chainsets we're a good deal, y'know, if you have some kind of 21st century bike...

Ah, this could be what I'm after for the little lady's bike, however...

The rest of the drivetrain is 10spd; if I swap the 10spd rings across to this crank, will the shifting work okay?
