Help with moving power meters
 
Hi, I had a Jamis Dakar A2 and I put some custom power meters on it, the stages power meter specifically Stages Cycling Power LR Powermeter Crank Set 32 Teeth for XT M8120 (Crank length: 175mm). It arrived as a full dual power meter crank set and I was able to put it in my bottom bracket no issue. My bottom bracket is Shimano HTII.

MY frame snapped recently which I was disappointed about but I am looking at new ful sus mountain bike in the same price range (~£1K) and I want to use the same poweremeters. Searching bikes I am finding it really difficult to find matching crank arms that I would be able to quickly switch over. The alternative I have is to move the whole crankset and find a HTII compatible bike but this is where I get a bit out of my depth. I dont know if there will be length isses, diameter issues, will I need to get new front teeth to match new bike etc. Can anyone point me in a right direction or recommend a bike?

If you just had the left arm PM you could get away with just moving the left arm as long as they were the same length but since you have a dual arm PM you have to move the whole crankset anyway. If the bike already has a Shimano crankset it will have a compatible BB and if it doesn't BBs are cheap and a shimano compatible BB will fit in every single frame you are going to come across. There is nothing special about shimano cranks or their BBs pressfit threaded whatever. You probably need to go talk to a bike shop.
