Northwind +1

Or RaceFace Diablous will sort-of fit the same BB if it's an aftermarket one (they won't preload the shaimno BB properly).

Or plenty of cheap Truvative/FSA options.

Can't argue with Zee or a Sh Saint from someone you trust.

If I was going to moan at Shimano cranks, it's if they ever come loose (over loading the pre-load seems to do it) no amount of tighening will ever get them to stay on again.

Is warrantying Saints even a thing? You can pretty much bet that most being sold have never been anywhere close to the forces they were designed for. You could buy 2 sets so you have your own private crash replacement scheme

Keep meaning to sell ... (as all present bikes are 73) so yours for a reasonable price.

@fourfivesixfiftyb
Hadn't thought up a price... can see what I paid on ebay or see what Hive reckon is fair.

I'll hijack the kids insta for pics ... unless better option? Can just email if you prefer - up to you?
