  • I'm finally gonna try and set up my Vivalo. I still don't really have the money for this project, but I guess I will never have 'spare cash'... so I'm just gonna spend some loot on this anyway.
    So which crankset should I get? General consensus seems to be Miche Primato or Sugino... I guess I would be up for spending about £100, seeing as I have a really nice frame and BB, I don't want to put complete rubbish on it.
    Anyone got any advice on what to go for?
    Thanks!

  • silver sugino 75, can get cranks from £90 and rings £40

  • sugino 75's

  • Or Dura-Ace?

  • I think Dura ace are a bit out of my price range. Could maybe stretch to the Sugino 75's though.
    Well, I shouldn't, but I could.....
    supernoodles for a few weeks, perhaps?

  • worth it :)

  • supernoodles for a few weeks, perhaps?

    I've been eating nothing but bananas and 20p sainsbury's noodles for lunch and dinner for the past ten days (minus a burger at SWBeers), one more week and it's pay day baby!

    going to be nice to be back on something more substantial than two quid a day

  • luckily, I'm quite a fan of the humble noodle. If I'm feeling fancy, I put some vegetables in there too.

  • super noodles for a week, sweet cranks for a lifetime

    no brainer ?

  • Sugino 75's everytime

  • Dura-Ace or Sugino 75's.. I ripped all my hair out and got Dura-Ace FC-7600.. cost me a fortune, but I'm happy with them ;)

    Oh, but check the BB! if it's a Dura-Ace I'm not sure it will have the right chainline with a Sugino crank. and visa versa.

  • Japanese, Pfft. Go French. TA all the way.

    They should be the same (both use a 109mm ISO spindle), but I've got a 43.5mm chainline. It has been decided that I've probably got a JIS taper spindle (i.e. for Suntour) at the moment though, which is what is causing the trouble.

  • noooooooo- jis means japaneseindustriestandard- a shimano crank never need and will nees a iso axle----------------------

    sugino 75 uses iso-------------however it is the only sugino crank, not the messenger ones, they need jis------

  • sugino super mighty - my pal picco might sell his...

    Hope you're well Julio.

  • Sugino 75, got mine from NJS-Frames £80 and a sugino 46t ring too.

    We often have cheap noodles with prawns (from the fishman on the market) chop up a chillie or 2, some diced tomato and spring onion, and bobs yer uncle, a great spicey feast.

    Hello! Yes, I'm good thanks! Let me know if he does.
    Payday is not till next week so I can't order anything till then.

    Noodle hints sounds good. Might try the prawn one out when I'm feeling flush!

  • Dura Ace!
    so much nicer.

  • Dura Ace!
    so much nicer.

    so much more expensive!

  • I reckon stronglights are worth considering...

    I'm pretty happy with mine so far anyway - 97quid from hubjub including a decent ring. And they weigh nothing.

  • second hand parts, loads of cranks and chainrings

    may suit your budget better

  • My noodle lunch today could have been better. I dunked a choc chip cookie in it and it snapped off. So i had choclate prawn noodles.

    And if you read Viz you know what a chocolate prawn is. I was a millimetre away from a rofl

  • My favorite Vizism - the Cackpipe-cosmonaught.

  • 'Ooooooh, she had a mott like Terry Waites' allotment!'

    She who has; a hairy fanny
