If 68mm, get a road crankset to replace. If 73mm, get MTB crankset.tylstevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05202331639299348481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932426191875887596.post-40325749119491860992014-04-06T09:19:48.110+08:002014-04-06T09:19:48.110+08:00Hi, were you able to change the crank arms of your...Hi, were you able to change the crank arms of your bike?

The Giant was a reliable bike but had numerous small things like harder tyres which make for a bumpy ride and 170ml cranks (on an XL is way too short for tall ppl like me). The Alfine 8 I also don't believe cuts it for a bike in XL size. Down hill time became waiting time. <br /><br />Even though i've only done 10kms since getting my Inc 3 it was the bike i should have bought a year ago. A few things i really appreciate since getting it are the SportContact tyres, the much lighter frame and the smoothness and quietness of the Gate belt drive and of course the Alfine 11. The 11 makes all the difference. I couldn't recommend it more to spend the extra dollars and get an 11 instead of an 8. Would recommend to anyone commuting ~20kms each day. <br />The price has dropped to around $1,500 at Avanti Plus now. Had Brunswick price match Fitzroy Cycles for me.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11398117659257001441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932426191875887596.post-89624150164422659132013-11-10T09:28:56.788+08:002013-11-10T09:28:56.788+08:00I bought the last unit from BikePlus at $1799.I bought the last unit from BikePlus at $1799.tylstevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05202331639299348481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932426191875887596.post-65371338736864637052013-11-09T20:05:01.938+08:002013-11-09T20:05:01.938+08:00how much is this bicycle? bought from bikeplus?how much is this bicycle? bought from bikeplus?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932426191875887596.post-56921343410447595532013-10-23T11:10:09.573+08:002013-10-23T11:10:09.573+08:00You might think so but I have not seen it mentione...You might think so but I have not seen it mentioned anywhere.

Apparently for 2014 they are changing the belt to one with mud ports (hollow toothed gear rings) so dirt does not build up around the face of the cog flange, something that should not be a problem for the CDX. Whilst going on about belt drive bikes, Continental are also doing a system with deeper teeth profiles, that apparently would skip less & require less tension, so less strain on the bearings.<br />All that said I think I might treat myself to an Avanti Inc 3.0.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
