    Any crankset fitted with a 38T SS chainring......square taper, octalink, isis, powerspline, HT2 etc etc etc....

    42 tooth road set with 144 BCD - totally pointless.

    cranks hardly wear. just fit a suitable new ring to your current cranks.

    is it for off road or on road? for an inbred you may be best to get a cheap shimano triple off ebay and buy a SS chainring, bolt it to the middle position and bobs yer uncle

    that planet X one is a road chainset with a bigger gear than 38t
