Cranks for One Chainring
Why is my chain popping off?
Cranksets are one of the best ways to turn your rig into a NON-RIG. We see a great deal of accidents from people not getting their chainline right and they ride right into traffic or they flip over their bars. We have a plan to avoid both of those situations: We are going to get your chainline perfect and make your bike into a used-to-be-a-rig-but-now-is-oh-so-stylish bike.
We don’t carry stuff that Denver will destroy: Dura-ace, Sugino 75, etc all require that the bottom bracket be rebuilt very frequently for the performance to stay high. This systematically removes one of the biggest joys of owning a simple bike: you will have to have it repaired regularly.
We know and like:
1. Sugino RD48 Cranks – These are great looking cranks. They are light and stiff. We like that our customers are always thrilled with how their bike rides with these cranks. And we know how to match these up to your hubs so that your chainline is perfect. No fooling around.
2. Pake Cranks – These aren’t fancy, but they look nice. And they also are able to solve all of your problems. Your chainline will be spot on. Your bike will run quiet and smooth. And you will have a little extra cash in your pocket. On a side note, Pake has also come out with colors recently that add a little extra fun to your bike for not a great deal of extra money.
3. Truvativ Omnium Cranks – Unholy stiffness. Incredible good looks. But, all this comes at a price. Not that the price is on par with a Campagnolo Record Crankset, but pretty high nonetheless. We have not heard any complaints about these, except perhaps if you are antisocial about answering questions about your bike.
