I think it's a very basic Shimano(just a black Crank arm with Shimano on it) - I was thinking about an XT Crank Set - can get them for a good price on Ebay.

I looked on Park Tool, it seems when you a buy new Crank Set you get all of the parts you need to fit it - is this correct ? I thought the BB was a different component fm the Crank Set....

I will give it a go and get the tools fm Park Tool - I am not spraying the forks - & I guess I shud be able to strip and re-fit the other components, if I can do the BB - I changed my front Derailleur without too many problems flwg the Park Tool site... Guess it's a good way to learn how the Bike goes together.

Thanks..!
