The old set was some odd FSA splined thing, so he had to spring for a new bottom bracket as well, but even with that it worked out way cheaper than fixing the crank. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19124#post-291456 Tue, 18 Sep 2018 10:57:00 +0000 DaveC 291456@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>£75 for both the double and triple.

Overnight I have been considering my options; so currently my front drivetrain needs:</p> <p>- crank thread repair (probably &gt;=£20)<br /> - new chainrings (c.£30 min)<br /> - I have a creaky bottom bracket, BB has been replaced before, looking online, BB life seem to be a persistent problem for my current crank (FSA Gossamer 10sp)</p> <p>Might be as cost/hassle effective in the long run to replace both crank &amp; BB? If so, can anyone recommend a 10sp compact crank &amp; BB combo? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19124#post-291443 Tue, 18 Sep 2018 08:56:16 +0000 chdot 291443@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://Eastsidebikes.com">Eastsidebikes</a> does it (no postage!). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19124#post-291432 Mon, 17 Sep 2018 23:17:22 +0000 Blueth 291432@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>This one came up by Googling but there must be a bike shop in Edinburgh that can do it.<a href="https://www.tartybikes.co.uk/workshop/tartybikes_crank_pedal_thread_helicoiling/c34p11260.html">Tarty Bikes</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19124#post-291421 Mon, 17 Sep 2018 22:17:49 +0000 I were right about that saddle 291421@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not aware of anyone does it.
