LH Road Crank on MTB RH Chainset

mentalalex

Is this plauseable; seem to be some stage ultegra 6700 cranks for a good price on merlin currently, so i was wondering if anyone new if i could put on of these on the XTR-M9000 chainset. so just replace the no drive side?

I can't see a reason it would not fit.

Thanks.

You'd need to check if they're the same length, I've noticed road cranks tend to be a bit shorter. I think the big question though is why?

they will "fit" but the Q factor will be way off. also check the lenth.

I echo the why?

Why would the q-factor be off? As the spindle is on the MTB Drive side; i'm attaching the non drive side road arm. So i'm struggling to see how the q factor would be altered.

175mm will be the same on both....

Stage power meter on the mtb for 1/2 the price.

Nice one - a picture really does speak a thousand words.

Why would you want a power meter on a mountain bike? It's just not going to give any useful information when riding any remotely technical trails.

They don't give you any information regardless of road or trail. They just spew out data.

Because he may not spend 100% of his time on technical trails? Because he wants to train more effectively? Wants to measure and quantify his effort?

Obviously as someone who's used power meters extensively you totally get the point, just not necessarily on the MTB, right? Or... Are you talking about something you have zero first hand knowledge of?

What?
