Pivot 429 options for Cranksets??? bb30/100mm shell

The shell is 92mm wide and uses a pressfit BB but not a BB30 setup. Other than Shimano you could use a RaceFace Next or similar crank. If you really want to go nuts then there's always XX...

Pivot should use a BB30 then any crank can be run!

I was running a Deus XC crank with great results. I recently switched to 2x9 and picked up a set of ROTOR 3D 2x9 cranks w/ Q-Rings.http://www.rotorbike.com/nueva/ingles/bielas3d2x9.htm. Shifting is spot on, chainline is better and w/ Eggbeater 4ti pedals the overall Q-Factor is low. 110/74 offers a nice variety of gearing options too. Currently 27/40 but might change it out to 26/38 with Standard rings in the future.

The total package weighs 673g w/ the steel axle. I could lighten it up with standard rings but I'm like the Q-Rings.

Check em out!

BB30 on a Pivot design would be impossible. It wouldn't provide enough real-estate for welding and linkage...

Any Shimano Compatible crank can be used. SRAM now makes a press fit BB unit for their XX crank. Now you can run the gambit on crank choices!
