I'm about to sell one that came off my bike, but can't find what model number Shimano give it anywhere.

It's about Deore level, maybe a bit heavier. Hollowtech 2.

Any ideas?

Check the back of the arm around the pedal hole. Should be stamped FC-M something just there.

Could be an FC-M542 as a guess.

Aha, it's actually a Deore double M545 - but doesn't have "Deore" printed on it for some reason.

Thanks for that!
