Just took a look. For the price the weight is tempting.  I don't see any direct mount cranks.

Well i have to say this has been an extremely helpful thread. 

I think Im going to pull the trigger on the AliExpress $85 light weight combo package.

its not that much cheaper than the Shimano setup i listed ($113 after coupon code) but it is lighter. 

As long as you all think I wont have any issue going with the AliExpress over the more industry standard Shimano im going to go with it.

Thanks

I’ve seen that same setup on eBay. I assumed it wasn’t compatible with the 73mm BSA socket on the frame I purchased.

I think I need a 170 mm crank. I’m 5’9 with a 30.5 inseam. Most of the things I’ve read about crank length seem to be very subjective but I believe I fall into the shorter 170mm category over the longer 175mm.

Awesome.  So for $123 I can grab a BB, CR and Cranks.  That is well within my budget.



In your opinions would this be comparable/compatible?

29er / Quick Bottom Bracket Question
« on: March 13, 2018, 02:27:43 PM »
Hello All.

Ive been lurking on this site for a bit now.  After doing a good amount of reading I finally decided to pull the trigger on a Carbon 29er Hard tail. 

I currently ride a 26" Merlin XLM Ti frame.

The frame I purchased says Bottom bracket BSA 73mm. Bottom Brackets have really changed a lot since I built up my Merlin. 

My question is will this bottom bracket work with my frame?

If not can you make a recommendation?

Thank in advance for the help.


Joey
