Hi STW, I need some crank advice. My current crankset is a Race Face Ride on a Race Face Bb92 bottom bracket. The cranks arms feel a little flex and I'm looking to upgrade to a lighter, stiffer crank (either XT or XTR).
Could I just slot a Shimano crankset straight into the BB92 bottom bracket or will I need some sort of adapter? I've tried scouring the web and I think the answer is yes but there are so many options and standards that I'm feeling a little baffled. Thought you might be able to confirm.
Thanks!
This [url= http://www.pinkbike.com/news/to-the-point-bottom-brackets-2014.html ]from Pinkbike[/url] implies BB92 is compatible with Shimano,see about third paragraph down.
Raceface spindle 30mm
Shimano spindle 24mm
Adaptor(s) required I think
Raceface Ride is unlikely to be 30mm. It'll be 24mm, like Shimano.
You can replace your ride cranks with anything 'normal' shimano (ie XT/XTR)
Do they really flex or is it all in your mind / just wanting shiny things?
