Mythic Carbon Crank
Posted: Sun May 19, 2013 7:37 pm
Hi all,
I was looking at getting a new crank as I need a compact. I want something light but I'm struggling to decide which cranks to get. I originally was interested by the Lightning cranks as they're quite well priced, but as I can't find them anywhere in the UK or EU, I'll get stung big time by customs making the cost far less attractive. I found one place that sold them in France but it was a lot more expensive there and they didn't have my size (170mm 110BCD). Then I considered the Clavicula M3, but again their availability is limited and they are more expensive - definitely pushing my budget a bit. I then remembered the Mythic Carbon crankset and wondered how available they are these days as I remember BTP used to sell them through their site. I ended up at what clearly is Mythic Carbon's (Natec) website and it looked quite recent. That too and they seem to have a clear catalog of their products with prices and all the different set-ups. They also used to just do crank arms but now they do a crankset with an integrated spindle for outboard BBs which looks really good. They're only 345g for the crank which is really competitive.
I was so close to ordering a new SRAM Red Exogram crankset as the weight for the money looked amazing - then I realised they won't work with Osymetric chainrings.
My question is does anyone have one of these, and how available are they? I plan to give them a call on Monday to investigate.
