Review on 🚲 MTB Comp Vuelta Crankset by Brandon Addison

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Fake but works well

If you are looking for a real Vuelta connecting rod, this is not it. However, it is functional and suits my needs on my base bike. I wanted the 22t rail to pull a 100lb trailer uphill. To do this I removed the 44T and 32T chainrings leaving only 22T. I may add a bashguard for aesthetics in the future. It's a square conical diamond (meaning the square is 45 degrees off horizontal), so keep that in mind if you need replacement parts later. The length is also 175 mm. Another tip: make sure you torque the crank bolts to 30 foot-lbs. At first I didn't, and it seemed to me that my grip was crooked. After tightening (according to the suggestions of the forums), everything was fine. Generally the quality is good, but be aware that you won't get what you need, just a copy of the cat part for a few bucks less. Still works well and not a bad price for a basic bike.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • The list will be long.
