Product Description

Shimano DX Single Speed Cranks 175mm. We have sold many of these with a 38t and started getting request for these without a ring so you could use your own rings. BCD is 110mm. So here it is. Spindle type is square taper. This is a very cool setup at a very good price. These cranks were originally made for tandems, but have been professionally helicoiled to retro for Single Speed Cranks. On a tandem the front "captain" crank has the gear side on the left as does the rear "stoker" so both riders are timed together. On the right side the captain would have been a normal left hand arm and the stoker would have the normal three chainring crank. What we have done is to take the captain crank set, switch sides and Helicoil the pedal threads to accept the normal 9/16" pedals. We have sold many of these due to low cost and high quality. Quality by Shimano made from polished forged aluminum.

This review is from: Shimano Single Speed DX Crank without ring (Misc.)

I really like what they have done here. Using tandem cranks and re-working them for regular bike use is an ingenious idea. Especially since it makes a quality Shimano crank available at a reasonable price. I have replaced the cranks on 3 bikes so I can now pick the chainring size that works best for me. They look slick and work perfectly.
