So upon building my new bike I have met a new unforeseen foe. Toe overlap!

I either need a set of 165mm cranks with for a 64BCD inner ring OR any crank with a 28t chainring already attached.

Ideally I'd like Hollowtech ii but I'm not sure if Shimano make any 165mm MTB cranks so whatever is available.

Cheers!

Do you mean 74mm BCD, there's 56, 58, 74, 86 etc http://www.sheldonbrown.com/cribsheet-bcd.html

Yes definitely 64BCD, standard for most 4 bolt inners I believe - or at least Shimano.

I think 165mm is still going to be too long though so I'll have to reduce the cranks I've got but about 30mm and hope my pedals don't fall off!

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
