I have a touring/commuting bike that I really love. I'm running an Shimano Deore crankset on it. The
chainrings on it are about wasted, and the crank itself is really starting to show it's age. I'm
going to put a newer crank on the bike. It currently has a 122.5mm square taper bottom bracket. I've
always noticed a fair amount of "flex" or "give" in crank/BB . I'm looking into replacing it with a
newer XTR crankset and BB that uses the pipe billet spindle and the hollow tech arms. Have any of
you that have made this change notice that it is significantly "stiffer"? Is this type of setup
worth the additional cost over a traditional square taper design?
TIA
