Just by way of expansion in case anyone is being put off by the fact they are 170s...
The only reason 165s became so popular was bc of fixed road conversions needing a bit more room to mitigate peddal strike.
I ran 170s on an old track frame and* never once* got peddal strike. And tbh even on a road frame I still doubt there would be any probs on 170s.
BLB sell basically the same crank with a little njs stamp on the back (and no chainring) for ~£200. These need to go today!
