I am in need of a new set of cranks.

The cranks are 170mm long and are RaceFace Evolve DH.
I want some shimano saint cranks, if i get them in 170mm long will the be the same shape to fit properly?

These are for a 2007 Giant Glory DH0

170mm length is a very similar "bend" with most manufacturers.

The key thing when sizing cranks for most modern bikes is to ensure that you order the correct Bottom Bracket shell width, ie 68/73mm or 83mm

don't worry bout the bend, providing you get the right BB shell size, the cranks will go past your swing arm easy
