Cant make my mind up what to get.

Er…. Whichever one you like, add bashring (if you’re into fashion). Not really sure what else is different to a normal geared setup. SLX is the best value by far.

white industries is where its at 🙂

Well, that’s what I have but it makes precisely no functional difference.

But we all know that looks are more important than function on here 😉

yes looks are important 😉

for ss ? any old cranks on the spares heap will do old stx from the ark on mine at the moment with the 44 tooth ring they came with

Middleburn. UK brand, very light, don’t bend.

Any crank with just the middle ring on if you’re not bothered about the aesthetics.

…..But if looks are important – the nicest looking SS cranks imho are Middleburns with one of these rings on:

Or if you can get hold of one of the older XTR M960 cranks do the ‘Jeff Jones’ modification on it:

Here’s my lovely one 🙂

White ind eno with boone ti ring as looks are the thing that counts lol

Old Race Face for me:

I use Paul comp cranks purely for the looks

Old school XT square taper for me. One day I might even polish them up, but that’d involve not riding it instead.
