Time for me to get together a list of parts I want for my custom touring bike, we have decided on either 1x10 or 1x11 groupset with flat bars and it seems Shimano is the cheaper and arguably better option that SRAM.
Any suggestions? Most places seem to only stock 170mm or 175mm as the crank arm length as part of a set. Is getting each part individually the only way to get 165mm? And there doesn't seem to be that many choices for 165mm anyway?
My bike fit says I need 165mm and it's what I have always used...
A solution would be to get an 'upgrade kit' without a crankset, and buy something fancy in 165 separately. If set on 1 X, I'd probably go GX eagle or something else with a huge aftermarket rear cog
