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.

The cheapest too, good call. Will there be much weight saved by getting the Hone (worth spending the extra £30 ish)?0

The new Deore chainset seems to be a bit heavier than the preceding one: I have seen a weight claimed of 1050g (compared to 950g). The Hones gets stiffer hollow crank arms - also look at the SLX.
But anything SHimano really!0 -
Advice taken, many thanks for your help0
