Hi, I have a 10yo Giant ATX 800 which is still in good condition, except the drive is worn out, I don't want to change over to 9 speed as it would involve changing the existing XT integrated brake/gear levers and derailleurs. Can anyone recommend a crankset that will work with an 8 speed cassette. I have visited a well known online UK bike store but they don't reply to emails. The existing crankset is LX FC-M569 175mm, 68mmbb.

Thanks in advance Barry

9sp cranks will work fine with an 8sp drivetrain...so take your pick.

The crank world is your oyster. Pick any pretty pearl you like.

If you don't want to spend a lot and want to keep your square taper bottom bracket (assuming that's what you have), I've had great luck with These. Sugino also makes some cheaper cranks, and some more expensive. But I've found these to be a nice middle ground, IMO.

Name and Shame is the order of the day boys.
CRC?
