I need to find a replacement crankset for my bicycle, and it's been very challenging to say the least (I don't know much about bicycles myself). From what I can gather of the net and spec sheet, these are the specs for the original crankset: - 170mm crank length - 52T chainring (7 speed bicycle) - Square tapered, two piece bottom bracket I've mailed and visited about 10 dealers/shops and it seems noone is able to help me. According to someone I spoke to at CycleLab, the main problem is the chainring. He said finding a crankset with those dimensions + 52T chainring. I understand that I can get a chainring with a different number of teeth and it will affect gearing, but I don't mind as long as it's not too bad and the crankset actually fits. This is a picture of the original crankset: http://i.imgur.com/AKnpkdX.jpg If I order it from overseas, shipping costs work out to 40% more than the actual crankset! Does anyone have any recommendations? At this point all I really want is something that will fit on the bike and will cost under R1000.
