Replacing Shimano Octalink Chainset

TheCranker · February 2008

I have a Deore Octalink Chainset (m530) on my touring bike. Managed to snap the left crankarm through wear and tear and before that the BB was starting to creak anyway. What would people recommend for a quality replacement? Preferably one where I'm not going to wear through the crankarm.

lx hollowtech II would probably be alright. http://www.ukbikesdepot.com/products.php?plid=m4b0s178p1108

shouldnt be able to wear through it that fast.
