Drivetrain combinations
« on: June 08, 2006, 01:54:50 pm »
im curious as to what other x56 riders are using for successful 8 speed  BB/crankset/Front der. combos. ive almost completed my $48 ebay 756 project(much more in it now,that was just the frame) i had purchased a truvativ crankset from blue sky cycling but they just informed me that it was moved from back order to unavailable so im wondering what has worked best for some of you [smiley=nod.gif]

     thanks Matt B
