Hello,

I have a race face next SL crank which fell apart quite spectacularly.

As its an expensive part and i’m a tight ar$e - i’m trying to figure out what cranks are compatible.

It seems thinks have moved on somewhat, from my last dalliances with home mechanics in the nineties, when square taper was pretty much the norm...

Anyhows crank is/was this

BB is this


Will these fit?

Any advice on how to fit most welcome - have exhausted you tube tutorials!

Cheers all

Bergs

GXP is something like 24mm diameter driveside, 22mm non-driveside. BB30 is 30mm diameter.

You also need to get the correct width for the bottom bracket shell.

Bah - posted the wrong crank!

Is this actual one (yes i foolishly just bought it anyway)

It looks like its BB30 - but for a push fit bb? but i’m planning on keeping the existing one.

If the spindle is the right diameter, is it a matter of spacers to get the chainline right?

Its a 73mm bb shell
