![]() There's no need for self-extraction or crank-pullers with everything sliding together easily with a few bolts. The cranks easily bolt together from the non-drive side and with the now common double pinch bolt securing everything in place, I’ve had no issues. I’ve always enjoyed the simplicity of the Shimano crank setup and it remains the same with the latest SLX. Their short 165mm length is worth noting too I’ve previously had a difficult time finding this length with a 73mm BB, especially at lower price points, but it's now available in both XT and SLX. The SLX cranks tested were in the 165mm length and with a 32T chainring they tipped the scales at 625g. But we’re talking about a claimed ~10 grams. Looking at the cranks, there's a slight visual difference to the finish and the SLX weighs a few grams more than an equivalent XT setup (with similar crank length and chainring size). There are some subtle differences between the two tiers but they’re minimal. 12-speed SLX set-up and installation doesn't differ greatly from previous Shimano drivetrains and when stacked against 12-speed XT, it’s essentially identical. ![]()
