Velo Orange Grand Cru Fluted Double CranksetBack in the day, racers drilled holes in their chainrings to make them lighter. The weight savings were minimal, but they sure looked cool. This crankset recaptures the look while upgrading to modern manufacturing techniques and tolerances. The arms and rings are cold forged from 7075 aluminum alloy. The rings are thicker so they don't flex as on classic cranks. The outer rings have modern shifting aids such as ramps and pins, so shifting performance is much improved. All stainless hardware with allen head nuts/bolts. Includes self-extracting aluminum machined dust caps and BB bolts. Available with different crankarm lengths (165mm, 170mm, 172.5mm, 175mm). Teeth: 48/34 BCD: 110mm Q Factor: 143mm Chainline: 43.5mm Speeds: 5-11 compatible Taper: JIS square taper Suggested Bottom Bracket Spindle Length: 118mm Pedal Threading: 9/16" Weight: 645More info & order

SchlumpfdriveSpeed-drive makes the chainring spinning at a higher rate. This means, that a 38 tooth chainring, if speed-drive is engaged, works like a 1.65 times larger one (63 tooth chainring). If you have a 44 tooth chainring, with speed-drive engaged this chainring would equal a huge 73 tooth chainring. That's why speed-drive is often used for fast bikes like recumbents, or folding bikes, where it compensates for the small rear wheel.More info & order
Schlumpf MountainDriveMountain-drive reduces speeds by a factor of 2.5. With mountain-drive there is normally no overlap between gears. Mountain-drive enables you to climb steepest hills with your bike. If possible, take a slightly bigger chainring (2 or 4 teeth larger) to get higher gears as well as lower ones.More info & order
