Hi guys

Been away for a while after having to sell my Spesh Enduro 🙁

But I'm now back in the game having bought a Cube AMS 125 - like this one http://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/1299375/ except mine has Fox Talas 140mm forks & Deore XT cranks?

Anyway, my question is will this chainset & BB fit?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks you!

Chris

Yes it should be fine. You can probably reuse the existing BB if its ok and keep the new BB for spare.
Not sure if you'll need to change the front mech as well, or possibly the front shifter as I think the ring spacing is slightly different for doubles.

Excellent - thank you! It currently has a double & bash on, but for the price of just cranks alone I'm thinking I may as well go for this option. Used them on my old bike and was happy with them!

Thanks for the help 🙂

What's wrong with the XT one?

FYI there are cheap SLX if you are not bothered about having a bash.

I would ideally like to just replace cranks but it's just making sure they're compatible with what I have now? I'd like to keep the double and bash
