Bigger chainrings is a pain with the Shimano MTB ones and their BCD, possible but you've also got a wider q factor and usually chainline, although there's a couple of options for that. Hope would be good, possibly praxis and raceface options too.

What are we talking here? I've been running a 32T and it's a bit too small given I've mostly been using the Surly on the road, especially now as it has aerobars fitted. Fuckin' love me some aerobars, I do!
Q-factor is less of an issue I reckon. I'm wearing flat shoes and I don't even know what q-factor was on the Middleburn cranks I removed. Forgot about Praxis and haven't seen RaceFace cranks on anything since I think my old trials bike..

I've already got a Shimano 24mm 68/73mm BB but I guess I can just fuck that off with the cranks. Will a Cadet M30 work for me though?
There's a 165mm set on ebay, but I'd need bigger chainring

Shit keeps piling up doesn't it.
Hope cranks look to be an option... pretty spendy for an old Ogre though... might try and find some used ones... anything else to look at? I'd really prefer the most boring, common Shimano things so I guess I should look at Shimano XT cranks...
