It's only cinch mount rings. Not cinch axle (30mm). Still good price.

That's worth it just for the ring, the cranks are basically free. Damn these PSA's, just bought 2 pairs of forks and some cranks last month...

Am I right in thinking that'll be a steel chainring? (which is good IMO)

Well now I have a spare set of cranks. To be fair, I have three bikes they'll fit with quite aged cranksets so I don't feel too bad. Probably cheaper than buying a new ring for one of the ones that's wearing.

It's a 137mm spindle and there's also a 190 version listed on the Raceface website, so I'm guessing this one in non boost. Or maybe the 190 is for fat bikes? I dunno.

yeah, 190 is fatbike.

You can flip the rings on most cinch cranks so you've got a bit of control over chainline.

This is the sort of dangerous deal that makes you build a whole new bike isn't it? I have no use for these cranks at all buuuuut

That makes more sense. Quick Google suggests that it's ideal for Boost, but probs OK for non Boost:

Dammit, I've now made use of THREE PSAs in the past few weeks. First the 30% off Adidas TrailCross flats, then the PIkes last night, and now a chainset. Thanks but also YEAH, THANKS to the posters.

Damm ... usually ride 170mm cranks and looking for a replacement for my bikepacking bike , will 5mm make a huge difference ?

No probably not and even if it does they are cheap enough I don't think you'll loose anything.

For what it's worth the arms on my 170 and 175 Aeffect are both the same length, just the pedal holes are in different places..
