WTB: 170mm 110BCD crank arms

[Johnny Alien]

This whole supply problem with bike parts thing is starting to bother me. :)

I picked up the Charlie Gallop sample frame and plan to make it a 1X11 setup.  I am going to pick up a wolf tooth chainring (this is pretty easy to find) but need some crank arms to go with it. My preferred size is 170 and preferred color is silver. The combination is impossible to find in anything affordable. So I am looking for a Sugino xd, New Albion (riv calls this the clipper) or Silver crank arm set. If you need to unload it with rings I am ok with that. Silver, 170mm, 110 bcd, square taper in good shape.  Anyone have anything like that?

I've used the Origin8 110 bcd double silver crank arms for a number of years. They're sold as arms only, about $50-60 and come in 170mm as well as a whole bunch of other lengths. They're labelled as single speed but the arm mount tabs are for double rings, so you can use either position for a single. I mention this because I used the XD for a number of years and after breaking 2 pairs and I tried the Origin8 instead. A 107 or 110 BB is about a 44mm chainline, . They are notably stiffer than the XD and use a regular 5 bolt pattern, no silly reverso chainring bolts. The pair I have is also straight, meaning the rings don't have the lateral wobble every pair(5) of XD I've had exhibits to varying degrees. Don't let the price fool you into thinking these are less-than a Sugino or any other brand for that matter.

Have you checked https://www.modernbike.com/s?search=new+Albion+crank ? They usually have New Albion. and Sugino in stock.

Thanks Garth! I will check to see if any place has the Origin8 in stock in the size/color I am looking for.

CoalTrain, I did check there before posting here. They have stuff in stock but not in the size/color combination I am looking for.

As closure, I realized that while 170 was not available, the New Albion cranks came in the mid size of 172.5 and those were available everywhere.  But I still am going to complain about the waning supplies of bike parts.

Did you find the Origin8 cranks Johnny ?  They are listed as in stock @ both Ebay(retailer Bikewagon) and Amazon, if you had not.
I would not have brought this crank to light unless I knew it was available !!!

I picked up a set of those as well to check out based on your review. I have another frame that I am going to be building up soon and it will be a perfect test bed.

So are you all set now?

If not I have some Sugino 170's if you're still looking.
