Id not want to spent more than 200 quid ideally, but as I can’t fit a shimano crank to my gxp bb then I’ll need to factor in 65 quid of that on a new bb
Given I barely use the bike I want to keep costs down, but it’ll be a false economy if I crack my £500 pedal in 2 on a rock the first time I go out
I should add that I’ll be riding fairly tame trails, xc trail centre stuff rather than smashing through rock gardens. What’s the lowest acceptable bb height for an xc bike? Could I get away with 170s, which would mean I’m effectively only losing 3mm in pedal clearance?
