have the choice of either crankset, both have the same size cogs.. wondering which one to go with in terms of quality and reliability.. the SR X-1 needs a bit of rebuilding.. (degreasing, cleaning, maybe some paint)
thoughts??

The FC-361 uses an Octilink (V-2 version) bottom bracket so be sure you can find one of these before buying it. If you can, the shimano crank is by far the better one.
