Hi I am considering buying these cranks as I need some new ones

What I want to know though is what length square bottom bracket do I need to go with them? My bottom bracket shell is 68mm and I want to use the three rings. Thanks

You'll have to email SHimano, as the bloody website doesn't list it:

Usually a 113, but have to make sure.

I've used 113 on numerous Shimano chainsets, mostly of the same era, ie low-profile like Alivio, STX etc.

I had a look on the SHimano page, they have about 150 chainsets! I mean, why?!

Bloody confusing lol.

Make them all 113!

Hi yeah why do they bother making different sizes anyway would be much easier if they were standard. Or even listed the size they take crazy idea?!
