I'm after a new chainset for my Coiler. The 'power spline' bottom bracket is on its way out and I'd like something a little lighter than the budget Truvativ on that is on at the moment.

What would people advise to buy under say £75?

Looking on Merlin, i can get:
* Deore 590 with external b/b for £49.95
* Truvativ Firex Team with ext b/b for £52.95 (940g)
* Race Face Ride XC chainset with ext b/b for £64.95 (995g)
Or for an extra £5
* Truvativ Stylo Chainset for £79.95 (880g)

Any advise? I'd like something that I'm not going to struggle to get a new b/b or rings for in six months/years time.

Also, what chain and cassette to accompany?

Thanks in advance, Matt.
