hi guys hopefully you can help....my BB is up for renewal, and my RF evolve chainset is looking a little worse for wear, so im thinking as for £115 you can get a new xt chainset with bb included, so killing 2 birds with 1 stone as they say....only question i have really is, will it be a straight swap? the offers on the 175mm version, and im pretty sure the rf one i have is 175mm....will the teeth be the same number etc etc? bb will be fine i know that...
cheers!
You may need to replace your chain as well, but otherwise it'll all be fine.
cheers bud! the chain is only a month old though? its not worn, is it just best to get a new one anyways though?
If it's only a month old you may get away with it. You'll know as soon as you put load through it.
I have both these chainsets, from my experience;
Shimano BB & Crank is better, Raceface Rings are better, although I now have Hope BB's
Personally I would get the XT chainset & put your old rings on until they are goosed & then replace whole drive chain at once, its an option if your on a budget!
