SWAPPING NX EAGLE CRANKS FOR RF NEXT R CRANKS, CAN I?
SWAPPING NX EAGLE CRANKS FOR RF NEXT R CRANKS, CAN I?
Fledgling mechanic here. Like the title says, can I do this? I have NX cranks with DUB. I have a deal on RF Next R carbon cranks. Am I looking for a headache? Or is this easy?

I don’t think RF cranks come in the dub size, you will likely need a new bottom bracket.

The hope bb for race face cranks is well worth it. They last well, ceramic$ or steel bearings

You're going to need a new BB too, but if you get that right, you're in the clear.

Make sure the crank has the right width spindle, RF cranks have interchangeable spindles. It should be stamped on the spindle "RF136, or RF143". Lots of BB options depending on your frame. Also make sure you use a boost chainring and you should be all good to go.
