My xt crank arm has come off damaging the threads, it's back on but it probably won't last long.
Anything else worth considering similar priced dive or take as the shimano xt?
I'll be using it with 1x10 gearing so chain rings not required.
Crc £95 with bb plus for the xt plus £40 for a narrow wide ring.
The new hope cranks look ace but at £245 Too far out of budget.
SLX double at Ribble for £70 any good?
That's a good price. I am hoping for a set from a different manufacturer, but the slx maybe too good to refuse. I've not used ribble before.
I can sell you a very nice set of XT cranks that did 1X10 duties..... 🙂
Thanks but I want new, I've just come across race face turbine which look a lot nicer than the shimano
Proprietary bb though. Not cheap, and not brilliant.
Can do you a set of XX1 with 30t chainring and Pressfit GXP BB. 50 miles use. £180 posted
merlin are selling the Zee's for £74
Why the desire to avoid Shimano?
slx are <5g heavier than xt and they wear better, vfm wise they are pretty unbeatable
turbines look nice, 25g heavier if that matters
is triple or double better for 1x10 in terms of chainline?
If its the new turbines make sure you can get the bb and bb fitting tool befofe purchasing.
most people say triple, but with a bit of bb spacer sawppery ive always been fine with a double
Triple, IME.
Others MMV of course.
SLX
That's a pretty good price for the X1 cranks, especially as that includes the N/W chainring.
that x1 seems a bit porky if its 800g without a bb
1x slx is 650g
Could you buy an Aerozine?

And then report back? I like the look of it but need to know if it's any good.
Thanks.
@kimbers - I wasn't sure about that either, but according to BikeRumour the cranks with chainring and bolts weigh 683, with the BB somewhere around 108g.

I've just got a new set of XT cranks and without chainring, bolts or BB, they came in at 590g, so probably very slighty lighter, but not by much.
went from XTR to SLX,excellent especially some of the online deals.
Slx. Great price, last well and nice easy attachment system.
Plus standard bb not silly gxp.
XT are my go to cranks, zero issues, guessing SLX are not much different. Out of interest does anybody know the real world weight of the Saint m820 cranks compared to XT/SLX?
