What's your current chainline? The external setups usually have a 50/51mm chainline, so you might gain a few mm if your current chainline is less. You might be able to space it over a little more, too, but depends on clearance on the non-drive side and the crank. BTW you have a 68mm width bb shell on your bike, no changing that...or is the Komodo 07 changing frames too? I just got an SLX crank for $130, good stuff for the price.
upgrading to external style crankset for my 07 Jamis Komodo...
My original FSA Alphadrive is getting a little creaky and old. It is a year old and I'm looking to replace it with something new. Definetely want to upgrade to a newer style external bearing type crankset. Looking to spend less than $150...
One thing that I am wondering also is I am looking to gain a few mm's for a blackspire blackguard inner bash ring that bolts to the granny ring to clear the chainstay. my previous setup was a 68mm shell with a 113mm bottom bracket. the inner guard rubbed on the chainstay before I even had it tightened down all of the way, so I may need 3-4mm of additional clearance.
Just wondering some good recommendations that will fit my 07 Komodo.

im not sure what my current chainline specs are...it is the stock setup from the components the bike came with if that helps any...
It's a simple measurement, from the center of the seat tube to the middle ring position (assuming a 3-ring crank setup).tommyortom said:im not sure what my current chainline specs are...it is the stock setup from the components the bike came with if that helps any...
not really all that relevant, but how do you like your komodo? I am looking into buying one
