Poseidon X crank replacement
After 3000 miles on my 2020 Poseidon X, pulled the bottom bracket because it seemed creaky. The original no name square taper was completely shot, couldn't turn it a full revolution by hand as it would bind and need a little wiggle to free. You could hear the bearings inside. So I looked at replacing just the bottom bracket vs replacing the cranks.
Ultimately decided on replacing to modern Hollowtechii Shimano GRX.
Parts
- GRX 810 cranks 1x11 [ FC-RX810-1 ] – 40 tooth
- XT BB-MT800
Experience
This replacement was easier and definitely more beneficial than I anticipated. The hardest part was figuring out what the specs on the Poseidon were and what was needed for the bottom bracket. I was also concerned that the external cups might need professional facing of the frame. I didn't have this done but it seems fine so far.
