I have the Compass cranks on two bikes - a Hilsen and a Toussaint. Love them. They are quite tight on the Q-factor, so if you are used to triple MTB cranks, these will feel narrow. I believe I have a 107mm bottom bracket on the Hilsen. The Toussaint has a 113mm. As I use flats now

I am using a Compass/RH crankset with 30/46 rings on my AHH. The bottom bracket is a 108mm from White Industries. Clearance between the small ring and the right chain stay is minimal but seems to be sufficient. I think the chainline I have is less than "standard", but I prefer having the big

I believe Brian who runs the blog Stone Hog has a set on a Hilsen. I think he's pretty active on the list if you search his name and private reply to one of his posts, I'm sure he'll respond with his experiences. On Wednesday, March 9, 2016 at 6:46:29 AM UTC-5, Iron Rider wrote: > > Anyone

Another good-looking T/A alternative are the Sun XCD cranks, which also have a slight flare for clearing wide chain stays. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it,

This does not answer the question directly but I use a less expensive alternative: Electra Ticino (made by FSA) w/ Velo Orange 46/30 rings. On my AHH, I am using a 110mm bottom bracket. I don't know how the Compass cranks are shaped but the Electra allow you to use almost any front derailleur,
