New crankset
I am looking to buy a new crankset for my road bike I am trying to keep it under 200.00 and I am wondering if SRAM Apex 50-34 or 52-36 Crankset with GXP Bottom Bracket 172.5/175 mm For 130.00 is a good buy? I have a Felt AR 4 that is 7 years old and about 58,000 miles. I can’t afford new bike but need to replace crankset for now.
Thanks

The best deals I've found on chain rings are from FSA and Vuelta. Best deals on bottom bracket cartridges are Shimano. Good luck on finding a great deal on crank arms and spiders. I've had good luck getting all this stuff on ebay. Parts listed as being located inside the USA will arrive the fastest.

I have SRAM Apex cranksets on all of my road and gravel bikes. Its a good crankset for the money and I don't care that it weighs a few more grams than more expensive cranksets. When it comes time to replace the chainrings, it sometimes makes more sense to buy the complete crankset.
When I needed to replace the chainrings and the SRAM replacements were $80, I bought a new Apex crankset with bottom bracket for $109.
