Cannondale Quick CX Gravel Crank?
Looking to upgrade my drivetrain from stock Shimano Tourney/Acera 2x8 to to a 1X11 with a Shimano GRX 40T crankset and Deore XT or SLX derailleur. Curious if anyone has put a Gravel crankset on their bike. Curious if it makes a difference (gravel vs MTB vs road bike) crank. Main reason for looking at the gravel crank is the availability of the 40 or 42 tooth crank. Largest chainring available on the Shimano MTB crankset (according to the website) is a 38T.

More info would help and DorkDisc is pointing you in the proper direction.
What year and model Quick CX is it? That will help with your initial question.
Some googlefoo yielded these links:

The width of your bike frame where the bottom bracket goes is 73mm. The length of the rotating spindle on your bottom bracket is 122mm. The other numbers are the thread pitch - it's usually referred to as English threading or BSA threading and it's by far the most common pitch for threaded bottom brackets...

Sorry, I meant bottom bracket shell, as in the frame member. Road bikes use a narrower shell, thus narrower chainlines and Q factor.
This should be 68mm for a road crank

I see you’re running a quick. I Didn’t think that there would be that much difference between the quick and the quick CK. I figured the basic bike from the Neck back would be the same, Guess not……

My Quick 1 Disc came with a FSA crankset and I upgraded the crank to 105 over the winter. FSA has their own BB and once I figured out the replacement BB and purchased the tools, it was a direct swap. I know NOTHING about the cartridge BB that the CX uses (and it seems like an odd choice to me).
