The only correct answer is a SI crankset, you should be able to find them for less than €250 secondhand. here and here
If you do decide to go for SI cranks, I have a set of BB30 bearings, circlips and shims sitting in my parts bin you can have for shipping. (suggesting you are stating euro prices, it will not be too far from me)
LeMesjeu-
Strong money for a pre-owned Si crankset surely?

Thanks for the replies @Glws and @LeMesjeu,
As you guys gave different answers I figured that it doesn't really matter what crank to get.
I managed to find a rotor crank for 80 euros second hand. I'd say the chainrings are still in good condition. I'll clean up the crank and post some pictures later.
The only doubt I have about my purchase is that I kept BB30. Bearings are steel, and a BB30 axle is aluminium, this apparently causes galvanic corrosion, causing the aluminium axle to gall. I'll be sure to regularly grease the interface between the bearing and the axle to prevent that.
If the axle really starts degrading and I start feeling slop in the crank, I'll just buy another one.

Hi all,
I ride a Caad 10 with a triple chainring crank. My setup is a 2x setup though (I'm using only the two big gears). The reason behind this is that I had already bought a Shimano 105 R7000 groupset before I bought the frame second hand.
So, I need a new 2x crank because the way I have it set up now the chain rubs the front derailleur in certain gears.
I am however torn on what crankset to buy. The Caad10 of course has a BB30 bottom bracket. I find it hard to find BB30 cranks at a reasonable price (€250 absolute max).
There are some SRAM and FSA cranks for that price, but I'm wondering if I maybe should buy the Rotor BB30 to 24 adaptor, which gives me way more crank options.
Also, I really dislike the look of the FSA cranks.
I'd be interested in your input
