Aurora Posted May 26, 2010 Share Putting the XX onto a new frame, hopefully a Lynskey if all goes to plan. Red, silver and white is the scheme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_im_from_earth Posted May 27, 2010 Share it refers to the "Q-factor"/ width of the crank. 156mm is preferred by top racing snakes, 166 is pretty much standard on most cranks. because the cran uses a double chainring the design allows for a narrower Q-factor. the issue here is that many frames do not... if you are e-ordering a crank I would suggest sticking with the 166. i have seen very few bikes that can run the 156 without clearance issued on the chainstay.
