  • 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...

  • $474! I feel like a real People's Liberation Drivetrain would be a second-hand triple crankset converted to 1x (£20) and then whatever you can afford at the back. You can do 1x10 for like £100 total with a €30 11-42 and second hand MTB shifter/derailleur off eBay.
