As above. Do you rate them? Is it a faff fitting them? Can you replace the bottom bracket with a Hope one ?

wot no PSA?

I saw that offer too, but when a quick google revealed that they were only 50g lighter than XT I lost interest.

OTOH, they do look bling and 50g is 50g.

I don't even know what PSA stands for. They've only got them in 170mm but I was wondering if it was worth it anyway?

Yep, you can fit a hope BB. They're alright but mine have no reinforcement around the bolt holes, they've got one minor crack and I expect the others to go eventually, not too clever.

"175mm Single Speed 32T" - the other one on there might make a nice 1 x 10-11 setup?

I've got no chance with a 1x10.

Thanks! If it helps, I've ridden 175mm and 180mm and could not tell the difference...
