I’m building an AM hardtail with an XT 10 speed cassette and XTR shadow plus rear mech.
I’m looking for a chainset within approx £130 that isn’t too heavy, what can people recommend?
Cheers

What BB fitment?
Rule of thumb, Shimano SLX triple with a single speed chainring mounted in the mi location.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0 -
What he said ^
Or you can get XT cranks from Merlin cycles ATM for £115, sell the rings and get a narrow/wide chainring from race face or works components an you're sorted.0 -
I've got a Deore chainset I'm running 1x10 with an e-13 G Ring, it is spot on. I got more than £25 for the chainrings and the chainset all in only costs me just over £50. I'm not sure how much better SLX is.0

SLX comes with a better BB and is a bit lighter, enough to make it worth the extra over Deore, where XT benefits are mostly in the chainrings he won't be using!
