Evening Radsters
To save me a load of time does anyone know of any 30mm cranksets that are less than the only ones I have found the Box 30mm set at ?400!!
Hope you can help

Dub cranks are all 30mm.
Oddly I have been looking at them for ages.
What is it for? if it's for a rider that won't get a pounding?

Are 30mm.
What I mean is, if it is a sit down rider and not something you will put under enormous stress (like racing) those should be fine. But yeah, even moving away from carbon you have a ton of choices.

BTW if your frame is BB30 (like my Speed Series) then you can get a sleeve.

I got mine with the frame thankfully. That opens you up to pretty much any euro threaded cranks. As such it would work out pretty cheap to buy that, these.

And a hollowtech BB.

Obviously you will need a spider and ring, but yeah should be doable at far less than Box cranks.

Just be a bit careful with spindle lengths and wonky chainlines if you're starting to look at non-bmx cranks for bmx frames, assuming that you're looking for cranks for a bmx?? Not a deal-breaker but you might have to play around with spacers more than normal to straighten things up. :daumenhoch:
