CRANKSETS/CHAINRINGS SPECIALS
Campagnolo Record Carbon Crankset
Campagnolo wisely stepped into the external bearing crankset market a bit late. The reason is they made sure that their Ultra-Torque design was truly ready and would provide a service life that we, the consumers, would expect from the company from Vincenza. You can find it not only at the Super ...read more
Campagnolo Super Record 11 Ultra-Torque Titanium Crankset
While Campagnolo's Super Record components signify their best efforts, they just couldn't leave well enough alone.

This Truvativ X0 GXP 2.2 10-Speed Crankset uses carbon fiber like the top shelf XX crank, but there are a few differences.

SRAM Force Crankset
SRAM's Force Crankset has unidirectional carbon fiber arms and spider similar to their top-of-the-line Red crankset.

Rotor Round Road Inner Chainring
These Rotor Round Road Inner Chainrings are made just like Rotor's ovalized units, though they stick to the traditional round geometry that most folks are used to.

Shimano XTR Dyna-Sys FC-M980 Trail Crankset - Double
This XTR Trail 2x10 Hollowtech II Crankset FC-M980 is different from the Race version because it doesn't use the same proprietary 88mm bolt circle, rather it has a standard 64/104mm BCD. This allows it to have a smaller ring set than what the XTR Race Double Crankset offers. And if you look ...read more
Campagnolo Chorus 11 Ultra-Torque Carbon Crankset
Chorus is the gruppo that's for racers who are looking for performance without busting the bank.

TruVativ X0 DH GXP Singlespeed Crankset
Downhill-specific cranksets have always been incredibly stiff and could survive a nuclear blast; until now they could also serve as effective boat anchors. The Truvativ X0 DH Crankset is poised to change half of that tough-but-heavy reputation. The reason for the weight reduction is that the X0 ...read more
Shimano XT Dyna-Sys FC-M785 Double Crankset
With 10-speed cassettes having 36 tooth big cogs, the door was opened for re-evaluation of the standard triple crankset.

With this Truvativ X9 BB30 2.2 10-Speed Crankset w/Bottom Bracket, X9 isn't left on the porch with regards to new ...read more
Rotor 3D Road Crankarms

TruVativ X9 2.2 Crankset with GXP Bottom Bracket
With XX, SRAM finally made double cranks a reality for mountain bikes. One key element was the 11/36 10-speed cassette.
