I am now looking at Stronglight 180mm triple as the truvativ 180's don't seem to exist. Does anybode have any experience with Stronglight stuff.

My bike has been order with 105 cranks for now but I am really trying to find strong & long cranks.
Are there any other 180mm triples out there?

fsa told me that they will have 180mm k-force mega exo soon, possibly by the end of the month, as they now recognize a demand for that length.

High Sierra Cycle Center at hscycle.com lists long crankarms. I know nothing about hs other than seeing their site, just lending a hand. Leg. Whatever.

Perhaps a dumb question: Does anyone make 180 compacts? Or 177.5s?

Take E-R up on that deal pal. PM me if you want scoopage on High Sierra...good dood but not what you need. The Campy Crank is gorgeous.

Krikey, if you want inexpensive but certainly not cheap (gag) Ebray usually has DA square tapers in 180. Heck here are a set of XC Pros arms...you can't do better...they are top quality and not bad to look at AND the suckers are 110 bdc. Buy that and a Phil Wood BB (should be a 105 symmetrical) and take it to the bank! :

I take VISA and Single Malt in fair trade.
