This can be used for road compact double, bmx, cruiser, or single speed. It is actually a very nice road double crankset. These crankarms have been seen on sets costing one heck of a lot more. Theyre very light, nicely strong and FSA rings are a perfect fit.
This is the RPM crankset (says so on the back of the arms) previously used by FSA when they had square taper in their lineup. This is also the rare 175mm size for extra hill climbing power.
I used mine with the beautiful FSA Super Road 52 large ring. It allows from 36 (and larger) small ring sizes. Nice trick! Lightweight bottom brackets are available, such as Shimano UN73, UN74, VSO Sinz, and Phil Wood.
While this isnt the fastest thing going, it goes head-to-head with most of the best, and this one has a "long lasting" approach that I, personally, appreciate. Thats because most of the better square taper bottom brackets can outlast a bike. Shimanos UN53/54 is an economical variety with a similar long life.
Whether you apply it economically or high end, this is a "do it and forget it" maintenance-free product.
Its like a Campy or FSA, with the decimal point in a different place on the price tag.
Similar products used: The Dimension version, which is stronger, coated in black chromate, and is a "triple" ring layout.
