LIGHTNING Carbon Cranks/BB

---> ALL weights including the bottom brackets











This is the ultimate light-weight crank and bottom bracket set for weight weenies looking to shed some significant weight from their bikes, and who still want the strongest, stiffest crank possible.

The crank features carbon arms with an aluminum spider, joined in the center by a Hirst Joint (à la Campagnolo). The bottom bracket cups are secured by a genius knurled design to aid in the threading process, no superfluous installation tool required.

Look at the weights below and you'll understand these cranks are some of the lightest available on the market but cost a fraction of the competition that come at a +1000 Euro price tag.

These cranks are easily the most versatile:
- Lightning cranks can fit almost ALL bikes. 68-73mm BB width, or BB30...
You change your bike? No problem-these cranks will fit your next bike as well unlike the competition that sells specific cranks for every frame dimension.

- Lightning cranks can be outfitted with almost every kind of chainrings! The spider is removable/replaceable and there's several different spiders available to suit your needs. So if you want to change chainrings or your gearing later on this is the crankset to get as it allows you to convert from standard 130 BCD to compact 110 BCD (Road) or from Triple to Double rings in different BCDs (MTB).
