SWAP: Middleburn RS1 cranks for a low profile crank

slimjoe · May 2, 2010

Would anyone be interested in swapping my Really good condition

middleburns for another set of similar quality cranks but something low

profile? My frame as very curvy chainstays designed around low profile

cranks. the Middleburns are 170mm 110bcd and have perfect tapers and

threads. Would prefer same spec but length not that important!

Your help would be appreciated

Bit off topic Joe, but are there 4 or 5 attaching bolts on the spider? I'm having a real 'mare finding one that fits

Had the same issue a couple of nights ago when I was trying to fit some old Middleburns to my Pace F7. Using a 127mm BB still wasn't enough to provide adequate clearance. Ended up using some naff Ritchey cranks I found in the spares bin.

there are 5 connecting bolts on the back of the spider matey

I reckon these cranks would need around 127-130mm bottom bracket for optimum chainline.

Probably best suited to an older frame or even better an e-stay

i have a pair of white industry cranks the "made in japan" ones they need a 113mm-115mm bb and are 94bcd if that helps ya mate or if you have an xt m737 chainset laying around id gladly swap for that

Have you tried phoning Middleburn? they had a few old used ones last year as I bought one for my original RS1`s
