In all of this upgrade I'm doing, I now realize I don't really know much about Cranksets & Bottom Brackets.
So, now here I am, everything's on & ready to go...but oops, I forgot about that part!
I hear a lot of talk about Race Face and TruVativ, but don't know them from anything else.
Here's what I've got. Everything's gone up to XT (8 spd). Would like to keep everything upper end but don't want to spend cash on something that I don't need. I'm not that heavy and I don't really go too hardcore.
I've heard stuff about XT and XTR having a tendency to snap easily.
Not a racer so weight isn't really that much of an issue.
I'm really just looking for some advice...I won't be doin' this part myself, I'll let the shop handle it. I just don't want to be sold something I don't need. Does any of this make sense?
