Will I'm thinking about retiring the Middleburns. Right now I'm running 165mm's but thinking of trying 170mm's. I'm wondering though if the 170's will be too long. What are you using?
I regularly clip stuff on my 165 saints. They are holding up fine after just over 2 years of riding.Maybe I'll stick with 165's. How are the Saints holding up, I'm torn between those and some Gravity lites.
I love them, however I'm having problems with setting them up with the new LG1+. The frame is ISCG old and when I get it lined up perfect, the back of the spider is rubbing on the backplate of the guide. I messed around with different shim combinations for almost 2 hours last night. I may try to file down the back of the spider a bit. That's the other option.i thought middleburns were the holy grail of cranks...what's with the move away from them?

Do you have a 50mm chainline spider, or a 48mm chainline spider?I love them, however I'm having problems with setting them up with the new LG1+.

Check your PM'sDo you have a 50mm chainline spider, or a 48mm chainline spider?
I have a fixture I made to face down Middleburn spiders for chainguide applications. I'd be more than happy to just send you a faced down model for your un-cut one.

Missed a golden opportunity, J.Bench grinder! Dremel!
I still tag rocks with 165's,but way better for DH than 175's.Missed a golden opportunity, J.
Moar Shimzzzzzz!!!1
But seriously folks, how do you ride such short cranks. I feel like I'm on a baby bike with anything less than 175s.

I am running 175's now because they were $75 new with BB for HONES do I don't care. 170 is what I would have chose. Pumping through rocks works too. And I used to run 175's a long time ago and never had a big problem clipping rocks but always kept my eyes open for them.I still tag rocks with 165's,but way better for DH than 175's.
