FS/FT: Sugino XD2 Crankset

[Johnny Alien]

OK....so I have been on a mission to move down in crank size. I found that 165mm is good for me and 160mm is even better. So I have this XD2 set that I pulled off of my Clem. It is in amazing condition with little to now issues. Maybe a small scratch from the pedal but thats being nitpicky. I would rate it as very close to new. It does not come with chainrings. I had it set up as a 1x. I do have the brand new chainring bolts though.

I would love to trade this for a 165mm crank (or 160 but that is not as common). It can be straight across or I can add cash. Silver, Sugino, whatever...let me know what you have. Major points if its a triple. I think I want to try a WIDE double setup. With or without chainrings is fine with me.

If you have nothing to trade but want to pick up the arms I can do $90 shipped.

I apologize, I never gave the length for these. They are 170mm. Its an XD2 so a double not a triple.

You might take a peek at this wide double offered by SPA cycles for under $100 that PLP'd Russ had mentioned a while back. Hard to find anything like this for under $100: 165mm arms with a 42/26 or 40/24 combination with a bash guard and no hidden chainring bolt!

That's a hot tip. I am going to give one of them a shot. Apparently like the New Albion they are branded Sugino on the flip side.

So the crank arms are FS only now.

Sure thing. 

I have an XD2 with a 40 outer and 24 inner paired with the Jim 11-36 7-speed cassette on my Sam. The gear range is wide and every ring combination is useable. The chain is a 9-speed and the RD a Shimano XTR rapid-rise. Before the XTR, I had the Altus M310 which worked without issue, the XTR came up on the list and I had some extra cash to burn and wanted to try rapid rise, You'll need to find an FD that can handle the jump from the large to the small ring. Also, be careful when shifting down to the smaller ring up front, you can drop the chain and form a nasty pretzel.
