Hey guys, I am currently getting some components for my old Scapin Steel bike.

I am looking for a ligther Crankset 8)

I currently have this one installed:

(Alvio -FC-M410)

Was wondering what I can put on it instead, I have an 8 speed XTR Gears on it, and i'd like to keep that groupset, but a ligther Crank!

Suggestions?

Pretty much anything will be lighter than that! What gearing are you looking for, 1x, 2x, 3x? And a rough budget?

Well, I would like to put a Carbon Crankset on it, Quality of XO or XX.

But of course it has to fit the bottom bracket.
Im thinking 2x8 or 3x8... Im only running a 26 cassette on the back :)

Perhaps look for something like this? http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/race ... -prod48025

Light and a good price! But the XO crank is well received and pretty good value too.
