WTB/WTT: light mtb crank
Putting together an Esker Rowl for my wife and need a crank. Looking for something light to keep her overall build weight down - carbon would be great, but XTR would be great also. Needs to be able to fit a wider/modern bb shell.
I have a SRAM XO carbon crank with 28t and 32t rings and a 30mm spindle that is a bit to narrow for this with a pressfit Chris King BB that I would be willing to sell or trade. Would be great on an older xc bike or a gravel bike.
Or... If someone can help me figure out how to get the crank to fit the wider bb shell, I'm all ears.
Thanks!
Seth

Non drive side doesn't have the self extracting mechanism like the drive side does. Thread the bolt in about half way, find a way to support the arm, and hit the bolt head with a rubber mallet to break it free

^Rubber mallet on the bolt 1/2 threaded in.

HAB/DH - Thanks!
This was the approach I was using last night but hadn't put it in a vice yet - just resting against my wooden work bench

Yeah, supporting the arm can be a little tricky. A piece of PVC pipe in the right diameter makes it really easy.

Just some super glue. I replaced the plastic SRAM one with a nice CaneCreek one, and their instructions just say to super glue it on.
