Replace the crankset on my Shimano EP801 (with larger Q-factor)

[Jil]

Hi !
I have a bike equipped with a Shimano EP801. It has kickstand, and I get minimal interference between the left crank and the kickstand, so I would like to install a crankset with larger Q-factor. Just a few mm. The original Shimnao crankset is 177mm, I would like to go to 180-182mm.
Does it exist ?

I don't know for sure, but let's assume that one will exist.....
Are you sure that your knees will be happy with that?
What about the pedals fouling when you lean the bike over?
I know it's only 5mm, but you might notice that in ways that are an unpleasant surprise.

PS: If crank is missing the kickstand, then what is the problem?
Personally, unless it was a vital bit of kit, I'd get rid of the kickstand if it was bothering me that much. Rather that than make an expensive purchase. I have never needed a kickstand, never even briefly wondered if I my ownership experience might be improved by one.
