It's a BSA 68-109.5mm (Shimano 105 Octalink).</p> <p>Now - I'm planning on replacing the whole crankset later this year, so I don't really want to shell out £25 on something that I only need for a few months.</p> <p>So does anyone have an old one with some life left in it that they would swap for a fiver?</p> <p>Oh - and that washer that goes on the crank bolt (the one that might disappear quite readily into the border if you were stupid enough to remove the bolt in the back garden ) </p>
