@Grumpy_Git Sugino OX is for 68mm bottom bracket shells, I think there was briefly a 73mm version but it’s long been discontinued.
Thanks for the PLP spreadsheet! I’d seen the YouTube video before but missed the list.
Middleburn is an option, I don’t like the curvy smoothed out form of the crank arm but they look much better in situ on a bike than they do in a product photo.
Why mtb cranks? I’m day dreaming about building a Crust Evasion and it has a 73mm bb shell. This whole exercise is fairly academic as I won’t be in a position to actually buy or build anything for at least 18 months but the thought exercise is keeping me entertained for now.
I’m currently touring in a Straggler with 40mm tyres - we’ve been riding a lot more unpaved roads than we thought we would so I’m having fantasies of a new bike with bigger clearances.
