XTR 960 ones are awesome.
As above, there is a set in the 98> FS section now £55 :shock: i'd say that was a bargain
Oh but you want new ones :roll:

Are there any single ring external bb cranks other than the Middleburn RS8X and the surly one does anyone know?
I have Middleburn RS 7s on my bikes with uno rings and they work well and look great and I am well lardy and they havent snapped yet

I personally like these, but I am biased

FWIW, the blue set is a Rohloff chainline crank and is available with either 4 or 5 bolt spider. If you decide you want it, I'll send John a donation for facilitating the purchase by hosting the site we all love.

Those look smashing! Let me re-visit my budget. Do you do them in 170mm? I'm weak and puny and don't have the necessary brute force to grind away on long cranks, I prefer spinning away on shorter ones.
You would need a looong bottom bracket axle if you used the Middleburn Uno (same applies to White Ind Eno) - it has the wrong chainline for a Rohloff (54.5 iirc), which if you look has the sprocket much further out on the axle compared to middle cassette positon of a ss. I've looked into this, a standard crank and use just the middle ring. I think a modern Middleburn square taper with a four bolt xc spider, and a Thorn reversable 38 chainring would/will be my ultimate choice.
You won't need bigger than a 38 off road, especially with a big wheeler..
Happy hunting!
