Yeah, I switched the crank arms last year from 175 down to 170 and felt a lot more power and interestingly BALANCED while standing over the bike, since my feet were closer together underneath me. So, I can't wait to get them again. And I think I replaced my saddle with an ass hatchet LOL! I like it, but it did take my sit bones awhile to adapt to it, as they did hurt a bit more than usual. I like it a lot now.
I'll check that. I do have the shop on alert to order them. Incentive is I'll get them at a better price that way, so I might just have to suffer longer.
As mentioned above, SRAM GX Eagle is the same. If you are fine with the 170mm cranks, I believe this is the one you are looking for in Amazon for $120 at this link. The 7000/7k is the material (aluminum) used in the crank. Three left at the time of this posting. I would order them just in case your shop can't find them within Amazon's return window. I support the LBS, but not at the expense of my knees, and the season is already underway, so no time to waste it in pain.
