    Or RaceFace Diablous will sort-of fit the same BB if it’s an aftermarket one (they won’t preload the shaimno BB properly).

    Or plenty of cheap Truvative/FSA options.

    I’ve got a saint 83mm chainset sat doing nothing if you’re interested. One careful owner that rides like a pussy and barely ever got the wheels off the ground….

    Can’t argue with Zee or a Sh Saint from someone you trust.

    If I was going to moan at Shimano cranks, it’s if they ever come loose (over loading the pre-load seems to do it) no amount of tighening will ever get them to stay on again.

    Is warrantying Saints even a thing? You can pretty much bet that most being sold have never been anywhere close to the forces they were designed for. You could buy 2 sets so you have your own private crash replacement scheme

    I’ve got some 83mm Zee I bought in error off eBay. Pretty good condition.. could post photo’s…
    Keep meaning to sell … (as all present bikes are 73) so yours for a reasonable price.
