I am looking for options as to what compact cranks will work with a SRAM GXP bottom bracket. I am running a SRAM rival double currently and I am looking to move to a compact double for the deathride this summer. I know that I can get a SRAM compact double but I am curious if there are other options our there that might either be a few bucks either side of the Rival option. The old cost/benefit comparison...

Thanks,

Todd

Any modern SRAM or Shimano will be fine. If you get a Shimano, you have to press out the shim on from the left-side BB cup.
