Crankset clicking - Evosid - where to start?

[jonathanf2]

that's really good to know b/c they don't normally list those dimensions in the description. probably a good practice to just message the store to confirm.

I'm starting lean towards 3 bolt direct mount cranksets with 2 pinch bolt non-drive crank arms. They have both chainring/power meter flexibility, while being compatible with different size bottom brackets.

Like for example T47 has several variations with 68mm external cups, 86.5mm internal cups, and 78-79mm internal/external cups for bottom brackets! That's not including variations in 24mm/29mm/30mm spindle diameters. I guess the actual interface is now standardized, but under that standard are a plethora of different sizes.

yes, I prefer the Shimano pinch-bolt/axle pre-load cap arrangement as well b/c you're not stressing that cap threads much. The interface that Evosid selected (can't tell if it's legacy FSA or maybe an earlier version of the current Rotor axle) invites you to strip out or break off the hollow bolt b/c you have no idea when you hit the end of the splined section. At least SRAM had it tapered in the same way that square taper works. Not having any torque settings listed isn't helpful, either.
