Sorted Kona Curve C3 Crankset

[Konajona]

Any of you lovely people out there have a set of clean Curve C3 Cranksets like this without chainrings but with spider as i want to use it as a 1 x. Preferably the 171 version as im a short arse

Good luck. they had a tendency to crack in the taper and so are pretty rare. I had a NOS set back in about 2010 and they lasted 2 years of light use before cracking

Oh wow, thats good to know, i didn't realise. Maybe ill go with a pair of middleburn's instead. Thanks for the valuable advice

Like these? (I'd have to go and check the size) I could be persuaded to trade if you have something to swap?
Where did they crack @cce ?

mine went at the corner of the taper from memory.

I have do have some bits either of these interest you ?
STX 3 x 8 speed shifters
LX 3 x 9 speed shifter
XT 8 spd Rear Derailleur RD-M739
Is there anything specific your looking for Andy?

A replacement crank! The AA it's from (not an original part though) is getting the 1x treatment (like yours) and I was planning on using it, but for no other reason than it was there and the Kona link. It'soff the bike now and in the garage, i'll check the size and pm you some pics...

andym999 came through with these beauty's so will going on the explosif soon. Have swapped the spider round to show all bolts and to make it easier for future maintenance, can't see it causing an issue, unless you guys know differently?
