Crank Arms

[Mango]

What crank arms shouuld I use with a Middleburn/Salsa singlespeed ring?
Would some Deore LX cranks do?
Any Suggestions on what a good budget option is rather than going the whole RS7 route

I'm not sure what's compatible with what, but I think you can work it out using PCD measurement: the diameter of an imaginary circle drawn throught the mounting holes of your chainring.

I bet searching PCD and LX and Middleburn on here & google would come up with the answer

Basically it depends on what type the chainrings are - 104mm BCD 4 arm fitting or 94mm BCD 5 arm Compact drive.
Or if the Middleburn chainring is an "Uno" then it will only fit the RS-7 and RS-8 cranks anyway.

Most likely to be 104mm I suppose, in which case you have a huge choice of cranks you could use. Certainly the current LX Hollowtech cranks could be used as they are 104mm 4 arm, but you could also look at finding some older square taper cranks and use them with a Shimano UN72 bottom bracket.

Also depends which model cranks they are.....

The RS1 and 2 run on longer axle than the others.
