I have a 2006 Sworks Stumpjumper (dual suspension, 120mm travel); and want to slap on some XX 2x10 cranks. Not sure about the q factor sizing though. Is there a size that fits or does not fit? How do I figure that out?

Thanks for the help

Almost all full squish bikes will require the wider ones. Sram has measuring instructions, however, if you want to try and get the narrow ones.

I ran a 166 on my 08, chainring clearance with a 39/26 was close to the chainstay, a 42/28 would not have worked.
Good luck! :thumbup:

The 156 should fit (it fit my epic), but the heel clearance will be to low and you will probably catch the rear stays.
