Slightly lazy, but would I be able to replace an AB 32t oval on a M8000 crank like for like without removing the crank?

Thanks

Well I can change a 100bcd ring that way so don't see how 3mm would make a difference.

But the best thing about Shimano cranks is how easy they are to fit & remove.

Yes I've done it. Replaced with an AB 30t oval.

I'm assuming the 8000 series are XT cranks?

Thanks all, it looks like I can.

Yep, m8000 is XT. And yes I know HT2 cranks are really easy to remove and refit. But ad I said it’s a bit lazy 🙂
