What crankset to buy?

royboy11

I'm looking to replace my bottom bracket and cranks. Currently I have a howitzer bottom bracket and husselfelt cranks that i've only had for 3 months and they have play in their unique bb/crank interface. I ride a freeride hardtail and am around 175 lbs. I'm quite hard on them with drops etc.

My budget is around 200CDN or 200US with shipping to Canada.

I found these http://wheelworld.com/itemdetails.cfm?I ... talogId=39 but i've heard the raceface bb bearings are not lasting very well...??

Any input or suggestions!

Thanks

those cranks are XC cranks - have a look at Shimano Hones/Saints, not sure how much they are in USD, but are certiainly worth a look

yeah I think those are more than i'm looking to spend.

Saints possibly, but Hones are only about £80, so should be within your budget
