Application: Entry level hard tail
"Application: Entry level hard tail MTB used mainly on paved roads and paths. This crankset replaced the original 42/34/24t crankset. Installed this Shimano 48/38/28t and a new longer chain then adjusted the derailleurs. I was wanting a higher top gear ratio and this a perfect, 48t front/12t rear."
Very happy with this new
"Very happy with this new crankset! had to upgrade the bb to fit it on my 97 specialized hardrock, but after that it runs like new."
Opted for this over the "replaceable" chainring model
"I bought two of these for a hybrid/road bike and a mountain bike. The 22/32/42 on my mountain bike is what I had used before. I had the Alivio version with "replaceable chainrings", but I asked at my LBS and they quoted me ~$1/tooth for replacement rings, which made buying a whole new crank the same price as a replacement medium or large ring. The 28-48 tooth version is definitely a big step up on gear ratio. I find that the "useable" gear range for most of my around-town (central PA, hilly) is pretty narrow which I suspect will wear down my middle ranges faster, and while it's nice to be able to pedal downhill I think I'd rather have stuck the 22/42 version just to spread the wear around more total gears while riding."
Pay attention to derailleur capacity
"Pay attention when ordering a derailleur to pair with the 28-48 tooth crankset that you need to mind the maximum clearance of the front and rear derailleur--absolutely mandatory for the front derailleur, and if you overdo the capacity of the rear you will be unable to shift to the largest/largest cog--and if you did under load, something would almost certainly break spectacularly. While the cog rings aren't removable, I found that sourcing replacements cost as much as this entire crankset."
Entry Level Crankset
"Good entry level crankset for recreational riders. Not very light, but expected for something in this price range. Order arrived promptly!"
As ordered
"The crankset I ordered was carefully packaged and sent expeditiously. My hat is off to the team making this event history. I'll be back."
Q&A
- 2 sets of different info presented: crank length is 170mm or 175mm? chain ring size is 48/38/28 or 42/32/22?
- I purchased the 175mm, 48-38-28T for my Cannondale Quick 4 bike.
