I'm trying to look for some crank arms (maybe XTR or Rotor) for my bike with zero luck!

I have XTs on Chris King BB with TA Chinook rings so don't need an entire crankset.

Any ideas? Oh and black would be nice...!

It's hollowtech style with 3 chainrings.

New or 2nd hand?

Ebay often have bits like this. I bought a set of arms only (much lower spec that XTR mind) as people seem to break bits up and sell them separately. The ones I bought were brand new come to think of it.

Buy the full crankset and sell the chainrings as unused. Go for stupid money on ebay (well, they used to 2ish years ago when I last sold a set).

The trouble is, with Shimano, you get a BB too. A bit much to buy two extra bits I don't need!

XT cranks for £100, bike discount are good and delivery is as quick as the UK shops, I bought my 2x10 XT groupset from them.

Have a look at Middleburn, the quality is incredible though its reflected in the price! A pair of cranks will be about £250

Cheers for that! With very little German knowledge, it looks like they do non drive side XTR but not drive side?

I like Middleburn but can't help but think they might be getting a little left behind, I may be wrong!
