XD2 vs. XD600 which should i get?

[lungimsam]

Building up my NOS Bleriot I got from Peter White.

LBS having a time getting XD2 in 170mm arms for me, said the 600 is available with same toothcounts and the 170 crank arms.

Any reason to hold out for an XD2, or just get the XD600? What's the diff? They look the same.

   "Where you come from is gone, where you thought you were going to never was there, and where you are is no good unless you can get away from it. Where is there a place for you to be? No place.

"Nothing outside you can give you any place," he said. "You needn't to look at the sky because it's not going to open up and show no place behind it. You needn't to search for any hole in the ground to look through into somewhere else. You can't go neither forwards nor backwards into your daddy's time nor your children's if you have them. In yourself right now is all the place you've got. If there was any Fall, look there, if there was any Redemption, look there, and if you expect any Judgment, look there, because they all three will have to be in your time and your body and where in your time and your body can they be?

 "Where in your time and your body has Jesus redeemed you?" he cried. "Show me where because I don't see the place. If there was a place where Jesus had redeemed you that would be the place for you to be, but which of you can find it?”     -- Flannery O'Connor, Wise Blood

They're the same crank , different logos.


Riv calls it the XD2 because they take the arms(crown logo) only and put on Sugino basic rings(no ramps or pins), and sell it as a crankset.

The XD600 is a stock complete crank(Sugino logo), with ramped and pinned Sugino rings.

I'm not sure of the designation meaning of the 600 , as they also sell it as a 500(crown logo) and a 300(steel 36t ring) .

Oh yes . . . and for even le$$ :)

OK, I'm going with the XD600. Thanks for the info.

I notice though that the Riv competitors have 46-36-26 while the Riv is 46-36-24. So if you want the low gears...And then Velo Orange has a 48-34-24 which would REALLY have a nice range of gears.

Went and looked at the XD set that came stock on my Rambouillet.  The chain rings are indeed ramped.  I replaced the 48 with a 50 a few years back. The 50 is plain, not ramped but it shifts fine.
