Shimano cx50 chainset

Caketsar · 2014-05-31T09:47:20+01:00

Since I've had shimano cx50 cranks on my commuter/cross bike they've worked themselves loose twice causing problems too far away from home for comfort! I've had plenty of other cranks and this has never happened before. I think it's a problem with the internal threads on the non-drive side. About to order another set of cranks but unsure whether to go down the shimano route again (even though I have perfectly functioning 105 & ultegra cranks on other bikes). Help/suggestions welcome!! :-)

Got 1 x deore & 1 x xt on mtb’s as well & no issues there.

got XT on the mtb and never had an issue … correct torque is useful too.
