I love Atlas chainsets, light enough to help keep overal weight down to XC levels yet extremely strong. I did run them on my Meta ans Supreme, but sadly they won't fit pn my new 08 Meta frame, so this set have to go :-(

This set is black and a year and look surprisingly good for that age. New RF Rock Ring 22 and 32 rings installed about 4 months ago. They did have a bashguard installed but that' on the new XT's so presently it's big chainringless.

The BB is a Diabolus and also about 4 months old.

New this lot of about £250, and worth every penny.

Atlas cranks have a lifetime warranty against manu defects and for the asking price of £120 I'll honour this for the new owner, or for sold as seen I want £99.

I'd post a pic, but really, they look just like any new Atlas chainset so is there really any point.

Don't bother with offers below the prices stated, like i said I love these cranks, IMO their about the best strength/weight cranks out there, so if I don't get the price I'll keep them for future projects.

Why? Your not that tall, and unless your legs are like Arnies your gonna find it hardwork to turn them when the going points up.

If anything I'd say you need o go shorter, not longer.

I thought they would give me more leverage - longer crank. I need something to keep up with you and Andy L.

They will, but you'll need bigger pistons to push them.

Stick to 175 and just get fitter.

would my '07 meta require any re-facing, were I to fit a set of Atlas cranks with a diabolus BB? or would it be like a Mac...?
How would it all tie together with the DRS - any issues?
(and the Edge DC's for that matter - any difference in chain-line between the diabolus and the fire-x currently on the bike that would cause it to rub against the tyre..?)
Alternatively do you still have the Diabolus you were trying to shift fromt he shop?

That combi works fine, those tyres, that chainset and a DRS, I know cus it's exactly what I ran in Spain last year.
