While changing my cog today, I noticed that my chainring is ever-so-slightly bent. It's a Sugino Maxy and is one of the all-in-one kinds so I need the complete deal.

Something that's strong enough to deal with my Hoy-like thighs and 85kg bulk grinding up hills without folding would be nice.

Does it have to be 165mm?
What colour are you after? I have some black 170mm cranks. Not sure about the chainring. Either 48t or 46t

Doesn't have to be, but I'd prefer them I think.

Got a picture?

I'll most likely be splitting my FOrt and the TA Specialities cranks w BB if you'd be interested. Not uber cheap but also nothing ridiculous. There's pics of them on my thread.. Cheers, Tom

Cheers for getting back to me fellow Tom, they are lovely cranks but I think they are a bit out of my price range, ideally I'd be looking under £40. Ambitious but possible I'm sure.

So, bump!

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.
