Both geo charts are on the RG site.

I am not sure if you are being passive aggressive, or trying to say the bolt distributes more weight up front versus the bk which distributes more to the rear. Either way, thanks for your response, I think.

He's just joking around.

Okay so should I still get it? but with GXP instead. The ratio seems a little hard but there are no hills where I live so I would think I would get a lot more gain especially once I get it going

Still no.

Did the crankset somehow magically transform itself into a GXP system?

Thanks for your input. May I ask your opinion on the two, since you sell both. I have an idea what your answer will be as it appears you own a BK.

If you have no idea what you're looking for, how did you narrow it down to those two choices?

Either you want an aluminum frame with a carbon fork and "pursuit" geo or a steel frame & fork with really tight track geo. Which is it?

Thanks for your response. I feel as though I have some idea of what I am looking for... I wasn't aware they were completely different. I surmised those two from a combination of what i perceive my needs to be, reviews given on both, anecdotes given about the quality and price (...I know there are plenty of people who feel both are 'overpriced' and a soma rush is a great option) and aesthetics. I was under the impression the bolt is slightly more aggressive, but not necessarily real pursuit geometry as the sloping TT was negated by it's length and the height of the seat. I have read about the differences of steel vs. al, but only have experience with steel BMX bikes, and al track bikes. I would like something durable, but am concerned about rust, as I live in the midwest.

Should I replace my Sram Rival cranks with FSA SL-K Light cranks?

... the K is red so it would go with my color scheme better.. HAH

no

those slk cranks are wack. im sure theyve fixed it by now but the threads on the NDS crankarm used to be weak and would strip eventually, decreasing the time interval between needing to tighten it again. Happened to me once.
theyre gonna be flexier than your rivals too.

i used to have rival cranks. they were great.
there are some domestic pros on the crit circuit that prefer them over red cranks in an otherwise red drivetrain.

it did not, but I like the look of the sram red TT ring and I can get it with GXP instead

find some force cranks, super sweetspot for the sram road cranks

Go for it. You're awesome.

I did more research, looks like their S500 cranks because Rival never came in BB30

Everyone has been telling me this. I shall do it.

i love mine. you will soon know that feel bro

A tad more but 445 grams! I've been tempted to get a pair myself to get rid of the sleeve and finally take advantage of my BB30 on my roadie.

Your "tad more" is probably a lot more than our "tad more." CC has the Force cranks for about $190, and all the Hollowgrams I've seen are at least $300

Should I replace the

• 48/38/28 175mm Deore crank
• 11-30t 8s cassette
• Alivio integrated flat bar shifters

with

• 40/28 170mm Nervar/TA
• 12-27t 9s cassette
• indexing DT shifters
• Tektro FL750 levers

on my town/errand bike?

I have a Bolt; it's awesome. You still haven't really answered the question: what will you be using these bikes for? Are you just looking at aesthetics? Will you be track racing? Long distance riding? sw8 fixay skidz? Without knowing what the application is, it will be hard for us to give you a real opinion.

As far as the Bolt goes, I love it because it can 'do everything'. It has relatively tight 'pursuit' geo for track usage, but not so tight that I can't take it out on a long (50+mi) road ride with lots of climbing. Aluminum is light, the carbon fiber fork absorbes road buzz/bumps really well, and it's reasonably comfy (not as comfy as my CAAD10, but that's obvious).

Hope that helps.

Details, details.... I was comparing MSRP.

Looks like he sold them. So now I'm looking for another crankset for my Leader 735. I can get the sram omniums for $195 and I have heard a lot of good things about them. I would also have a 48 x 16 gear ratio with them but is there any cranks you guys would suggest and I'm not trying to go over $250 for cranks but I will consider it.

I also do about 40 miles a trip with my bike if this helps and its mainly flat with 1 or 2 hills.

omniums are quality cranks.

If that's used, just spend a few more bucks and get these new: https://www.retro-gression.com/produc...nkset-w-gxp-bb

GTB anyday.
