Shimino FC-C201 Replacement

Because M361 is no longer showing up in current year, first you dig through the archived Specifications .pdfs on si.shimano.com until you find it, like so: We see 123mm gets you to 50mm chainline. ...

Are there compatible longer cranks available for Gates CDX CenterTrack (5-bolt)?

This is pretty much why I didn't get a front child seat. Honestly I think for many rider/bike combinations that otherwise fit properly, these seats can only be used if you ride with your knees out to ...

Are there compatible longer cranks available for Gates CDX CenterTrack (5-bolt)?

Don't. This is a terrible idea. Saddle height must be absolutely correct, it is the most core bike fit adjustment. Even if you are able to fit huge cranks meant for 200cm+ people to your bike, it will ...

Is it possible to transplant the 5 arm spider of a Shimano XTR FC-M950 to a XT FC-M739?

Yes, it's a fit with XT.* You can't interchange with LX or STX-RC though because, even though the spline is the same, the spider is thicker (maybe the material is softer). You can borrow my lockring ...

Running DUB wide crank with 52mm chainline

Presuming you have FC-XX-1-C2/00.6118.608.001 it shouldn't be a problem to do this with a 6mm offset ring. I believe that is the only permutation of XX1 DUB Wide, but SRAM often makes it difficult to ...

Replacing SRAM Apex 1x with Shimano GRX 1x

If you just plan to change the crankset, that shouldn't be an issue with a 10-speed or 11-speed system (with 12-speed, that may be different because SRAM uses larger rollers on their flattop chains). ...

What is the effect of changing length of crank arms?

I Have a Triban RC 100 (Small, Women's bike) I am upgrading the cransket to a Shimano 105, do I need to upgrade the entire transmission too?

Looking at a couple of iterations of your Triban RC 100. This version seems to have MicroShift components, where as in this RoadCC review of the Triban RC 100, the bike sports a Shimano 7 speed thumb ...

I have a Triban RC100 (Women's bike, small) what size bottom bracket does it have?

This bike has a BSC/British thread bottom bracket shell, which is the most common. The Sora chainset will be fine for most applications where a 50/34 ratio is needed. It is optimised for a 9-speed ...
