New Bike on the way (yes!!) just accumulating the bits and pieces to get it built up.

What 3x10 crankset would you recommend?

Options are open but leaning towards:
RaceFace Turbine SL triple: it's what I have on my current bike, haven't had any issues, would get new set no reservations.
RaceFace Next SL triple: super bling, super light, made in my hometown, have people had issues with these?
Truvativ XO triple: the rest of my drivetrain will be sram, don't know much about them otherwise.
My dream crank (middleburn) won't work on my new bike due to the narrow chain line plus they're hard to get up here so everything else is almost second best...

I'm not opposed to Shimano, just don't like how they look (and yes I care about that Smiley

What are people using?  Any feedback would be great.
Thanks in advance.

I'd go X9, the last of the full alloy crank, light with OCT hollow. Great GXP BB, new low drag gutter seal.

What size (#teeth) chainrings do you want to use and what bottom bracket shell does your frame have? Those two factors might eliminate some options.

I'll be running an 11-36 cassette which is lower than I've ran before. In the past 11-34 so in the 24/22 front would be more than enough at the low end. Only thing I need to worry about is that chain line has to be in the 50mm+ range as per the builders specs.
