So what cranks can I upgrade to? I have a Excaliber one piece and always fancied three peice, but weight is important seeing have shed 12 pounds of it, and what do I need?

i would definitely go for a 3 piece set up if youre going to be riding it and giving it some stick. Knock out the bearing cups and go for some sealed bearings to suit your bb and then compare the weight of the available 3 piece cranks within your budget.

Don't forget you'll need new pedals too.

£100 budget should get you something decent, second hand with a sealed BB, maybe Primo hollowbites, profiles or twin pinch redline flites.

The other day, either Winstanly's or chain reaction had Blank cromo 3pc cranks, with mid BB for £20 posted, (reduced from mid £50's) you'll need a US BB, but you can sell the mid to offset the cost., colours were limited, but i've had some and they are ok quality.

£20 is a bargain! I would see if theyve still got the offer on!
