I've got an original Cotic Roadrat and am running the original groupset. However, a few years ago I damaged the thread on the left crank arm and replaced it with one 5mm shorter than the original. I know want to put a 175mm Sora back on the left to balance the crank lengths. I'm not sure if this one for sale will fit? How can I find this out?

Alternatively, does anyone want to sell/give me a crankarm? thanks,
Tom

OK, I think the crank you have is a Sora 3500, that’s a HT2 crankset and the one you’ve linked to won’t work. You want a left hand road HT2 crank, this one should work I think. Make sure it’s from a road group set (105, Sora, Tiara, etc.).
