I will check, I am pretty sure I have a spare left hand 175mm Saint, if you are desperate.......

Will revert ASAP

thanks for having a look. any ideas, if i am to replace my cranks, should i stick with shimano or what would you recommend as being a bit more robust?

I have XTs on my "Moab", Saints on my "Stiffee" and Raceface Diablous on my "Sunday",& have used Atlas on my old VP Free, I do prefer the Raceface method of securing the 2 parts, but I have only broken one set of XTs, (Andyneep bent two sets of FSA's in as many months Shocked

)

External bearings are bigger pain, I think I will invest on a the Hope version next as FSA/Shimano/Raceface dont last long.

Just changed the Race Face BB to a Hope BB "seems" better.

I bust an M770 crank arm at Glentress last year and by sheer luck the hub had a M760 spare that bought it for 20 quid. Yours to pick up from Kemnay for 20 quid if you want.
