it's probably a 106mm spindle which was the stock one on the 96 Adroits, to be used with the XT M737 cranks. those are microdrive cranks with a 42t big ring and they are more low profile than most 110mm BCD cranks. what cranks are those you found?

i am running XTR M900 cranks with 46/36/26 rings on my Pulse which is the same frame except for the head tube. it also has that 106mm spindle installed. i had to move the spindle 2 or 3mm over to the drive side otherwise the rings and the crank arm would not clear the chain stay.

the crank you want to use might be lower profile but still, 46 and 36t rings would not perfectly clear the chain stay. too much risk of chain suck. if you want to use smaller rings it may work. but the XT M737 cranks would be most trouble free to use.

carstens a lot more qualified, but that sounds pretty short IMHO. what crankset is it exactly?

 

[scant]

and as if by magic carsten appears

 

[Copey]

I found some top line cranks, really like them, but guess they won't fit

 

[Carsten]

no, toplines need much longer spindles like 125mm.

Thanks for this, you just saved me a lot of greif...

So, when trawling eBay, what should I be looking for?

How about Grafton Joystix 94/58mm (this is the description - I have no idea what these measurements pertain to..).
