Crankset Recommendations (Fixed/Commuting)

Posted on
  • Hello,

    After my Miche Primato cranks snapped a little while back I'm in need of replacing. Any advice (and appropriate BB to achieve 42mm chainline also) would be gratefully received.

    Preferably around £200 max, have been looking at the below, but I am up for any other suggestions.

    • SRAM Omniums. Were top of the list, but appear to be out of stock everywhere

    • Stronglight track 2000. Seem to be good, but cranks are silver (eww).

    • Sugino SG75. More £££ than I really want to spend.

    • SRAM S300. Not finding much about these, any good? Heard GXP might be rubbish.

    I will absolutely not be going anywhere near anything Miche ever again. Seriously, fuck Miche.

    Cheers

  • Not much help, but GXP is no problem in my experience. Plenty of miles on a few GXP cranks on and off road. Still smooth and free spinning without service.

  • If you aren't bothered by the aesthetics of these (I never much liked them, a bit retro for my taste), they are really solid and good quality. Paired with a decent sealed bearing Shimano BB they should be fit and forget.
    I used a set for a while and have absolutely zero complaints.

    Also SRAM Omniums have been discontinued so won't be in stock anywhere, other than second hand.

  • I have SRAM s300 cranks and they are good, I think Omniums look a lot better though. And something to keep in mind is that they are 130 bcd so 'normal' track chainrings don't fit
    Gxp is fine.

  • @samrensho A bit too retro indeed. Hadn't realised the Omniums were discontinued. That's sad.

    @kjlem thanks for the heads up on the BCD, I hadn't clocked that.
