I am thinking of replacing my crankset but don't really know what I need for my 05 Heckler. Thinking of dropping the large ring since I don't use it, any help and explanation would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Shimano SLX , LX or XT and add your own bash ring.

Second the SLX - they're just fantastic value. There's no point going up to XT.
My 05 Heckler currently has the Race Face Atlas, and I love them. Going on three years and all I have had to do is replace the middle ring.
If you are looking for a set with a bashring, I just put this on my Bullit, and may be putting it on my Heckler. They are awesome, especially matched with the Blackspire dual ring chainguide.

SLX with bashring and 68mm BB if you're going new. XT or old Saint if you're on a budget and going used. RF Atlas is also a great crank.
What's your budget and what crankset and BB do you have now?

Can't afford the SLX will try to keep it under 100 or 150 at tops, all I know about mine is it is a Shimano has Hollowtech on the arm but nothing else and been on since 05. New to riding and this is my first bike.
Thanks for all the help!

I have an LX that I took off my wifes 05 Heckler (she wanted an XT to match the rest of her build). There is nothing wrong with it and the weight difference is minimal. Drop me a PM and I will make you good deal.skentback said:

The Shimano Deore crank looks pretty sweet for about $120, if the used LX doesn't work for you.
