I'm a big fan of the Shimano Deore FC-MT60 crank. Light, pretty, & strong, plus millions of them were made, so they're plentiful and cheap. Heck, most co-ops should have at least one in the bin-o-cranks. Other plusses: 110x74, so the widest variety of chainrings of any non-TA-type crankset, (every even-numbered ring from 24 to 52, plus 39, 45, and 53, and 47s aren't hard to find,) and they'll be available until the heat death of the Universe. Low Q for a triple: 150 mm with a 122.5 mm bottom bracket. I've got one on my '85 League Fuji, with a 68x118.5 BB, so Q should be around 145. The only downside to them is that the anodizing seems to be particularly prone to heel scuffs. --Shannon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
