Is SLX Best VALUE Shimano Crankset? 12 Speed SLX M7100 Details, XT/ SLX/ Deore Installation

I swear shimano make more money on tools than actual parts 😒

The non removable security torx bolts on my SLX crank set removed themselves. Not a great idea from shimano to make these non user serviceable.

good job on the review,, i read on the sight slx is lighter, I just orders a set, I dont see any reason to by XT on cranks, maybe rings xt xtr and put on slx, sound like the win to me

Got my new SLX 175 length cranks today, weight 630g with 36t XT ring

I hate the look of that open end ( bb end) on the crank arm 😏

Deadly video + sexy bike 😂👌
Will that crankset fit my 9 speed...
Cheers 🍻

Can i use this tipe (12 speed) for my cassete and chain 11 speed...

Hopefully you can help me. I purchased a 2021 Giant Talon 1 and I'm upgrading parts the only one that is hard to pick is the crankshaft all my components are XT which TX crank should I purchase for this bike which is a 10 speed 11x42. Thank you

This might be a wierd question. Can you use this SLX Crankset 12s to a 1x11 deaore xt m8000 drivetrain.. currently I am using a raceface and i want to be set up my drivetrain to all 11s shimano setup

Help due to supply chain I bought a new 202 Nukeproof Mega comp and it was spect with (Shimano Deore M6100 12 Speed Crank, 175mm, 32T, 52mm Chainline) and I pedal strike like crazy. I am wanting to put on 165 SLX (or somrthing compatible with 165) can you help me figure out exactly what I need? Your videos have been very helpful in changing the cranks on my son's pitch and my wife 2014 Trek Remedy and also converting from two pot to four pot breaks! Thanks!!!

Friends i need a set from the bolts of the exact chainring on the 1x12, 3 of 8 are missing, I guess they weren't tightent enough.
So I'm writing this if some of you can guide me and help me find the exact bolts on internet so i can order them.... please help!!!!!🆘🆘

Здравствуйте, подскажите пожалуйста звезда от шатунов(системы) 36т хт8100 совместима с шатунами (системами)slx7100 и deore 6100 ?Hello, please tell me the star from the connecting rods (systems) 36t xt8100 is compatible with the connecting rods (systems) slx7100 and deore 6100?

Very helpful video as always , one question, between the crank axle and the bottom bracket do you need spacers left and right or not?

I have a sunrace 11-46 tooth rear cassette and an SLX 11 speed rear derailleur. Will the 12 speed crankset SLX M7100 work with my current configuration?

Note: My bike was stolen and this is what I have to work with now. The police found my bike but all the parts have been swapped and I want to make it ridable again. Thanks for your time.

the amount off special tools needed makes me think of how greedy manufacturers are.

Buen vídeo. Una pregunta y realmente merece la pena la inversión entre una Slx a una Xt y más aún a una Xtr??. De cuánto peso hablamos??. Saludos.

Could Shimano 11 speed chain compatible with this 12 speed chain ring or not?

Can you Place an XTR Chainring on SLX Crank?

What size slx crank is on the giant trance pls

Hi being very green on this wealth of knowledge can anyone help . I brought a slx crank set its the
FC-M7100-1 Boost /non boost is this not the right one for a stanton sherpa Boost should i have got the FC-M7120-1 any help most appreciated

Please guide me. I'm looking for a good Shimano Hollowtech crankset and BB for my Marlin 7 1x10. I won't change the rest of the setup.

Can i change my slx 2x m7120 to xt 1x chain ring sir

i prefer the hollowtech over the alloy from sram etc, less chance of mud in the inside of the arms. only they look more dull

I'm kinda worried that my old crank will wear out my new 12s deore chain fast because it's teeth are quite thicker compared to new 12s crank chainrings

im still in the way of installing full SLX group¡ thanks ¡
Ihave a question? do you know which crank is used for boost 141 frame ?

Going to say, I'm really enjoying your content, your explanations and breakdowns and overall knowledge is appreciated. Thank you

Will these slx 12s crankset work on 11s chain and be used on advent x drivetrain

What crank length should I choose if my height is 1.90?

I personally prefer the offset 96 bcd over the direc mount stuff, because I don't need smaller than 30t sprockets and direct mount doesn't allow for chainring swaps without removing the cranks from the bike.

How much slx groupset

Is the chainring of Shimano deore m6100,compatible to Shimano slx m7100 crank?

Does this fit on 10 speed chains?

Dude you put the adapter inside the bb tool first and the you removed the chainring. 😂

I'm building an Arc as well with SLX cranks 7120 55mm chainline. I used the recommended MT800 92 BB. But when I fit both 3mm spacers (one each side) the mom drive side crankarm won't fit in any more. It then cannot be pushed all the way on the axle so the safety pin fits in.
If one is fitted on the drive side it all fits nicely but I believe the pedals are the no longer centered!?
Any idea what may cause the issue?

Thank you!

Re TL-FC25 BB tool. You say this can't be used but if you put this plastic adapter onto your BB spanner first & then placed it onto the lock ring wouldn't that work?

I see some hollow tech problem in the crank arm in the internet,why is that happen?what is the explanation to that?

Do the cranks come with the chainring

Great video. Still love the deore crank for the price, quality and function. For weight saving xt up to xtr, xo1 and xx1 will not go wrong, just pay the price and smile. Please dont let them scratch😁

SLX is definitely the best bang for buck among the Shimano 12 speed drivetrains. Deore cranks are trash, they have a major issue with the splines on the left crank arm stripping out, causing the center cap to shear off and the crank arm to come off even with tight pinch bolts. My bike came with Deore, they stripped out, warrantied, but who knows when that warranty replacement will ever come, have since upgraded to XT cranks, would've gone SLX, but could only find XT.

I bought that crank and installed the zrace xtr style chainring and it installed perfectly. And it weighs 559g! Great price, great stiffness, and durability; now with great weight!

@LoveMtb - Not sure if I missed it in the video, does the lockring come with the chainring or the crank arms when purchased? Thank you

shimano, as good as it was on up to 10 speeds, its not good on 11 and 12speeds, I switched from 11 speed shimano XT to 1x12 SRAM GX and its way way way better.

Last summer I sheered off 7 or the 8 torx bolts on my SLX chainring. Went to stand up and pedals and heard a high ping sound and my chain fell off. Looked down and saw that chain ring was hanging on by one bolt. Shimano did a warranty replacement.

Wow that new spider and direct chainring looks cool

My bike Orbea OIZ m30 came with Shimano MT611 32t. If I want to upgrade to XT can I take any from the XT range, 1x12 speeds? Is the only difference the length? 171mm 181mm?
The chainline differs and the 181mm mentions "157 mm O.L.D." The 171mm has different wieghts: "Weight: 608 g (28T), 622 g (30T), 620 g (32T), 633 g (34T), 651 g (36T)" Cannot really find what the difference between those is tbh.

Nice channel btw, subscribed. I want to be able to do all my maintenance, changing myself so will definitely check out your how to build a mtb from scratch video.

U have a good presentation! I am wathing u a ling time! U are the best! Peace 🇧🇪

Would you rather use slx or nx? If same price and same pinion
