175mm Length: This length is a standard for larger and performance-oriented bikes, providing a longer crank arm to maximize leverage and pedal power. Ideal for riders looking for an increase in control and torque output, the 175mm length suits BMX, cruisers, and single-speed bikes where riders prefer a more aggressive pedaling style. The extended length is particularly useful on medium to large frames, providing an efficient, comfortable pedaling motion with a smoother ride feel.
Threading:
24 TPI (Threads Per Inch): Featuring the industry-standard 24 TPI threading, this crank is compatible with American bottom brackets, ensuring a solid connection. The threading is designed to secure the crank firmly to the bottom bracket without loosening over time, ideal for both daily riders and more performance-driven builds. This type of threading is highly compatible with various American-style bottom bracket cups, making it versatile for most custom builds.
Pedals Compatibility:
1/2-Inch Pedal Threads: Built to accommodate 1/2-inch pedal spindles, a size frequently found in BMX and cruiser bikes. This feature allows the crank to pair with a wide array of pedals, including classic, cage, and platform styles, adding versatility in pedal selection. Riders can customize further with specialty pedals, especially those designed for cruisers and lowriders, enhancing grip and aesthetic appeal.
Material:
High-Quality Steel Construction: Constructed from durable, heavy-duty steel, this crank offers excellent resilience and strength under high loads. Steel is prized for its longevity and durability, capable of withstanding impacts and frequent use. This makes it highly suitable for bikes used in both casual riding and moderate performance, providing peace of mind with its toughness and resistance to wear.
Style:
Flat Design: The flat style is a minimalistic design, providing a smooth surface without twists or additional styling. This choice suits riders who prefer a classic, streamlined look, as it reduces unnecessary bulk while retaining structural integrity. The flat profile allows for a clean appearance and is less likely to catch on clothing, a practical choice for urban riding or relaxed cruising where aesthetics meet function.
Color:
Polished Chrome Finish: The chrome plating offers a brilliant reflective finish, enhancing the bike's visual appeal. Chrome is known for its excellent resistance to corrosion and rust, making it a reliable choice for riders in varying climates. Its mirror-like surface adds a classic touch to vintage-style builds, lowriders, and other customized bikes. The chrome finish is durable and resistant to abrasions, helping the crank maintain its appearance even with regular use.
