Modular Cranks? But Why?
Ok, why do we care about a modular design? Or more to the point, why would you care?
First of all, this caters to people who want it *exactly how they want it. You want a 167.5 crank length, with a 1x, 12s-compatible ring to work with your AXS setup, but you want to run it on your road/gravel, one-bike-quiver? Oh, and you want to add power? We can help you do it. Specificity is our stronghold.
The decision matrix can be truly dizzying, but we're here to help. Just a few of the choices, outlined below:
The basics: cranks & spindle!
- crank length
- crank material (alloy, 7-series aluminum, or 6-series aluminum)
- spindle diameter & material, e.g. 24mm steel or 30mm aluminum
- spindle width: road, gravel or MTB
- power or non-power
Don't even get us started on rings!
- 1x or 2x
- Round or oval
- aero or weight-weenie style
- direct or spider mount
- and ring size, ranging from 26t direct mount up to 58t
At the end of the day, it's about helping riders enjoy their time on the bikes as much as possible. We are as deeply imbedded in the bike world as our customers, so keeping riders rolling comfortably down the road is our goal!
