Crank advice.. cannot make up my mind

DaveRamsay1984

Hi guys, i have a boardman comp 650b hardtail which i am running a 1x10 on. I have shimano xt shifter, chain, cassette and rear mech but i just cant make my mind up on a crank. I am torn between the shimano zee, shimano xt m785 and raceface chester. Can anyone shed a light on what would be better.. i want to continue with the 1x and ride mostly xc trails but will be buying a full susser in may which i will be transferring my parts onto.. any advice? Many thanks,

Dave

poah

I would get an SLX, same weight as XT. Zee is heavy as is theRF chester

Excellent i shall check those out mate and thabks for the advice. I used to ride trials like 15 years ago and boy was i in for a shock at how much has changed since then.. only just got back into riding but prefer trails now.. many thanks bro.. im on the case now

I hate to agree with POAH but SLX is the way to go. Lighter than Zee and the arms are the same weight as XT. The weight saving in XT cranksets is in the chain rings.
