i took the crank off my giant bowery 2008 and as i suspected i found it had rounded itself off somewhat im looking for a new crankset
as budget as you like squaretaper with a chainring anything over 42 will be good
preferably to work with my stock bottom bracket

If your crank was really rounded bad - It may be worth replacing the BB - In The old days when i was a kid doing "street" & "dirt" riding i rounded a few cranks off - bought new cranks then rounded them off real quick - turns out the taper on BB was shot too... Just My advice. - and yes i know the metal of the BB is super toughened and tougher than the alloy cranks - but it happened....

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
