LOLL this place is really a piece of work. Yes, I necro'ed a thread. Yea, I know what necro'ing a thread even means. Nowhere in this old thread is there any confirmation of how a roadbike crankset can be an issue on a mtb/hybrid frame. Call me crazy but to me that is a key piece of information to this topic in case a "noob" is googling it and comes across it. Last time I checked, that is actually the sole purpose of a forum.
Now if the mods want old threads archived, here's another pro tip: forum software allows that. How do I know? I've owned several.
Pro tip#2: Want a thread to die? Don't respond.
Oh almost forgot: not trying to attack or anything. mmmkay?
