Compact Cranks

Postby liamb » Tue Jan 22, 2013 10:12 pm

Hi All

I am after some recommendations for a Compact Crankset to replace my standard setup. I have a budget of max $400. I am hoping to get something light but also something that will last. My current setup is Zeus Ziclon with Mega Exo BB.

Cheers

Bill

Assuming your BB is English thread, you can get Shimano DA for under $400 from Euro sites, with a BB for a tad over. Sky's the limit!

Fulcrum carbon crankset + ultratorque BB?

I have been happy with mine. bike24.com was the cheapest.
