@snottyotter @Netakure cheers, sounds like faff that I don’t need so going to just hold out for Shimano or not bother replacing what I already have…
I was thinking I wanted 165mm external bb cranks as I got tired of square taper track cranks creaking and fitted some 105s that I had kicking about to my fixed bike as an experiment to see how the chainline was, its fine but they are 172.5 and I was a bit worried about them being so long but having done a decent run on them today I’m thinking it’s not such a problem really.
There was a couple sets of 165mm FSA cranks on eBay that we’re looking cheap but they ended up going up at the end of the auction anyway.
TLDR: thought I needed 165s, probably happy with the 172.5s I have.
