Shimano 170mm FC-TY301 48/38/28 alternative I have a Marin Fairfax 2 bike and I’m new to biking. When the bike was assembled the right pedal was not properly put in and came off.it has ruined the threads on the crankshaft right arm.
I would like to replace the crank which is a Shimano 170mm FC-TY301 48/38/28. However, I cannot find this crank as it is out of stock everywhere. Is there an alternative I could use?
FC-TY501 is a straight swap according to Shimano's specs https://productinfo.shimano.com/#/lc/tourney/3x7, but you will need to get one the same chainrings you have now (e.g. 48/38/28 or 42/34/24).
Other options will work fine also, preferably those with 47.5mm chainline, but for proper front shifting either matching all three chainrings, or failing that smaller chainrings with the same gap and then move your front derailleur up/down, will be necessary.
