quite a specialist item, does your current deore chainset require an upgrade, then this is a great price.
numerous crank length sizes and silver or black
was intending to get the M782 (with 22t/30t/40t) but decided to get this.
not quite as cool as the new m8000 11 speed range but far cheaper

Have a google for the spec of your bike, what I can find is your current bike is 9 speed triple chainring sram gearing, 3x9 (ie a 9 gear cassette on the back wheel and 3 chainrings on the crank arm (where your pedals add attached)
If you where to buy this 10 speed chainset you would need to upgrade all components to 10 speed
the rear derailleur, casette, chain and shifters
and possibly the front derailleur arm as well as the chainset (chain rings and crankset) to 10 speed, and also ensure your rear wheels hub will fit a 10 speed cassette.
For the high cost of doing that , you are probably best to stick to 9 speed, and use a chain wear indicator to check wear on the chain if it is heavily worn, the casette will likely be worn too, and also the chainrings.
Doing this strategy you could upgrade parts over time and not have the big outlay a 10 speed would cause

yeah the deores/SLX are still around £60-70, so lighter, stronger XT is worth the extra few quid imho.
reading up the newer m782 has been designed with the lower 22T granny gear to suite the needs of the 650b / 29er markets, as bigger tyres increase the gear inch ratios. Hence £99.99 or get this m780 for £74.99
personally with a 36T cassette i can manage all hills around me on the 24t chanring. so saved £25, hope my legs dont regret this
I have a Halfords Carrera Fury 2011 mountain bike with 26'' wheels and hydraulic brakes.

the size just relates to how long the cranks are, this will vary with the size of the bike. if you look on the inside of your current cranks it should say how long they are.

Got mine yesterday, ordered 1pm Tuesday on both crc and merlin,
Merlin pedals arrived 9am Wednesday, crc claimed to have shipped tues 6pm weren't collected until Wednesday pm, arrived Saturday
What is it with shops sending oem, both my xt cassette and this crank where in brown cardboard, got some m8000 brakes on ribble cycles, turned up in a clear plastic bag.
At least Merlin sent shimano packaged pedals
