Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
Just need a standard grease syringe like this one https://www.pushys.com.au/park-tool-canister-style-grease-gun-blue.html

Reccomended grease is Motorex prep m https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/254596599932 or Super lube https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/162119659604. I've also used the Weldtite TF2 teflon grease https://www.pushys.com.au/weldtite-...J2moKNzR_mZu3kkjSUz120xa3lN-Q3OhoC36wQAvD_BwE

I also forgot to mention, unscrew pivot bolt before injecting grease.

Sooo what does the brain's trust think a fair price for a set of GXP Sram X1 cranks would be?

175mm, 32T (non-spider) chainring, a few rub and scuff marks but otherwise good condition - solid 7/10 conservatively. I think I've got a suitable (and pretty new) threaded BB I could throw in for them too..

She fid, he fid, I fidn't
what is he asking? $150+ they’re alloy right...btw 165mm is where it’s at, ask poodles. if you look at the science of crank length, most shouldn’t be on 175, optimal hip angle at 170 or less

Nah I'm selling them and the market is drunk so getting an accurate idea from that currently isn't really happening. Maybe I'll just write "eewings" on them in crayon and sell them for $1600.

Agree regarding crank length, prefer 170mm.

i see a couple looking for 200 for newish gx cranks
Interesting - I wonder if they want 12 speed though.. I might have a spare 12 speed Sram chainring somewhere but only 3mm offset (which I think makes it non-boost).

Belated edit: actually 6mm offset.
