ShimanoXT M770 Hollowtec II Crankset... by Steven Upgraded from a Deore crankset after about 3 years of use. The M770 crankset looks the part and is definately stiffer, but still a lot of money.

10 under the ben, done and dusted.
I must be honest; I still have a big grin on my face when thinking back to the 10 under the Ben event up at Fort William at the weekend there.
This was the second 10Hr event for Craig and I and we didn't want to compete as pairs again as it's quite hard work.
