fc-mt-210-2 available in 46/30, featured on new trek mid level (read- $800) bybrids. the future is now. it appears to be very cheap, 9 speed, and continues to cement alivio as being extremely okay for normies.

also, side swing alivio pusher.

The gearing that hybrids have needed for decades

Price guide? Like $40?

adem · October 31, 2019, 6:17am

the 36-22 version of that crankset retails for $30, so I’d expect similar for the 46/30 version.

I hadn’t realized Shimano had tricked outboard-BB cranks all the way down to the riveted-chainring specs.

The Sora cranks are really good at being 110 BCD jawns.

Master_Stabby · October 31, 2019, 3:08pm

I need this for my hybrid, a triple is dumb.

karl_dandleton · October 31, 2019, 3:29pm

$40 would be correct but this appears to be an OE spec. 36/22 seems to be all thats available on the shimano b2b.

There is a $24 tourney 7/8 speed tare squaper version in 46/30 tho.

does chain guard come off? is it as heavy as the alfine stuff?

iwillbe · October 31, 2019, 6:08pm

I was going to take off the chain guard on my big cargo bike (some bottom rung Shimano crank), but realized i don’t mind having it on. Keeps the pants clean?

todd_bonzalez · October 31, 2019, 6:12pm

If you want one without a chain guard, buy GRX. If you’re buying one to commute, why wouldn’t you keep that shit there to keep your pants clean?

karl_dandleton · October 31, 2019, 6:50pm

id assume heavier. like, no published weights because are you kidding

Andrew_Squirrel · October 31, 2019, 7:24pm

I am absolutely in love with the big ugly chaincase on my MimeBike. I installed it mostly for (unattractive) looks but not rolling up my pants ever for commuting was a huge benefit I didn’t really expect.
I also noticed that the entire reason I was investing in long calf-length snowboarding socks was because I wanted to keep my legs warm when my pant leg was rolled up but now that I just leave the pant legs down I can wear any socks I want.

todd_bonzalez · October 31, 2019, 7:51pm

It’s almost as though they are commonplace on commuter bikes for a reason…

iwillbe · October 31, 2019, 8:05pm

I’m kinda surprised igh with encased chain isn’t a more popular thing on pnw supercommuter bikes.

Andrew_Squirrel · October 31, 2019, 8:10pm

I’m waiting for wireless IGH that has a small dynamo built inside the rear hub to keep it charged

Face · October 31, 2019, 8:24pm

What’s gonna charge your clicker?

I think di2 igh charged off the front dyno is the ticket.

All you need is a power supply that gives 7.4v & has a battery backup.
