Well I just ordered a complete crankset on the 'bay for $35, square taper BB. Hopefully the spider is the same so I can just swap the crank arms. The cost of chainrings + the unknowns of compatibility with my existing setup seems risky, especially for the minimal cost savings. If not .... well maybe a good time to convert to square BB - no idea how much life is left in my BB anyhow.


Rephrase that: "Hopefully the spider is the same so I can just use the chainrings and keep my existing crank arms..."
