  • 68mm compatible single chainring crankset 44T or 46T

    Afternoon.

    I’m after a new crankset for the turbo bike. I only need it to run a single ring as i don’t need the others for Zwifting and won’t be running a mech either on the front.

    So i guess it could be a double… It’s not like i need it to be pretty either.

    I’ve got a standard HT2 BB fitted, but not against a GXP or HT2 or whatever really.

    The only requirement is that it fits a 68mm frame, is fairly cheap and has a 44T chainring or bigger. 10 speed compatible.

    ideas appreciated.

    There’s things like this SRAM Apex but that’s 11sp and only a 42T…. So i don’t really know what to buy.

    I could run just a bigger ring on mine maybe ? But again, not sure what to buy… it’s running a generic spider/cranks and i’ve got a narrow wide on there, but can easily not be NW.

    I’ve got a Force CX1 GXP crankset and. virtually brand new 50t chainring to go with it if that’s any use to you?
    It’s an 11 speed ring but I believe it’ll work with 10 speed.

    Square taper cracks from spa cycles. Around £25. Bottom bracket is around £12. Choose any ring you like. They’ll build it for you if you ask

    Definitely don’t buy an Apex crankset if you’re not happy with the stock ring as though they’re 110 BCD the spacing isn’t the same as anything else.

    Can’t you just stick a bigger ring on the existing crankset?

    Well I could get a snail/whatever, but NW rings are not terribly smooth usually, especially cheap Chinese crap ones. A nicer one would be, well, nicer.

    I went cheap, Snail 46t ring and a nice new set of bolts on there. Seems quite nice.
    No testing though as had a decent muddy ride on Slayer today.
