But I'm primarily a mountain biker so I would have used MTB cranks either way. They have wider pedal spacing than road cranks and I don't want to have to adjust when going from one bike to the other. I guess it's unpopular to have this opinion in this forum but I absolutely HATE square taper BB's and cranks, so it's either road crank or MTB crank.
How is the chainline with those? I've used MTB cranks for a little while, but even with a narrow square taper I had trouble with chain droppage due to horrible chainline.
