Crank length questions

Re:

Oh also don't forget to reset your saddle height to compensate though. That definitely did make a difference for me.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback.

Decided to try going from 175mm to 172.5mm.

Anyone care to guess why. :shock:

Re:

That's a hell of a deal! :shock: , i'd be interested to know more about it as that's my preferred size and i'm in the market for a new chainset if you're willing to share it?.

Cheers Matt

It's SRAM Red at CRC.

Plus an extra £10 off at the Checkout for spending more than £75.

Re:

Thanks for the link bedraggled, seems like a great deal as they sell for that sort of price used on ebay.

Cheers Matt

Yuk was my reaction as well.
I haven't used any SRAM for years, I stopped when I had two different pairs of Truvativ cranks which insisted on self extracting during the ride, being miles from home with only one crank arm isn't much fun.

But as Matt says, that is a second hand price, if I don't like them it's off to eBay and they won't have cost me much (if anything).

My thoughts too.

I'm running a 10 speed dura ace set up so am unsure exactly how well the 11 speed SRAM chainrings will integrate into it, I guess i'll be finding out shortly :shock: .

Any recommendations for a good quality, long lasting GXP b/b?.

If you get an adaptor you can use your current Shimano bb.
