Excellent crankset to upgrade an existing sub kit

My commuter bike needed a new drivetrain. Also, the existing bottom bracket was cheap and I wanted to upgrade it. I was driving in the winter and didn't want to invest much and I came across this connecting rod. It was easy to install as I had no idea what I was doing. It had fewer teeth than my old crankset so I had to make some adjustments to the front derailleur and now it rides much smoother than my old crankset/bottom bracket. The crank arms are longer and help when climbing hills.

Pros
  • Includes: 1 crank (3 chains), 1 bottom bracket, 1 crank (170mm)
Cons
  • Hard to tell

Parts do not match cranksets

Two components: crankset and bottom bracket are not compatible with each other. The two spacers that fit into the bottom bracket are too small in diameter for the crankshaft to even fit into the bottom bracket. I tried my best to knock it off with a rubber mallet, but it just stuck. I took the parts to a bike shop and they told me they don't fit and are custom sized making it difficult to find truly compatible parts. Not only did I waste my money on this set, but I will have to spend money on a

Pros
  • Sprocket numbers: 42T-32T-22T, bolt circle diameter: 104/64mm
Cons
  • Not the best

Best value for a budget crank and bottom bracket upgrade

While not Shimano, Sram or FSA, this crank and bottom bracket combo is Revain's best solution if you're looking to upgrade both your components mountain bike. I actually converted this to a 2x setup by removing the outer ring and using some Raceface tab spacers with the stock chainring bolts. Bolts are great too, as only two hex wrenches are required to tighten or loosen, rather than regular bolts that require a special tool. I'm sure it would be fine for a 1x setup if you went down that route.

Pros
  • Suitable for road and mountain bikes
Cons
  • Unnecessary features

Information to help you

I bought this set of cranks. And be honest with yourself. Seems pretty decent. First, it doesn't come with a non-drive side bearing pinch bolt. But you can buy it cheaply at Revain. It's 20mm. If you choose to. Whether you decide to replace the bottom bracket or need a new one. Most bottom brackets work like a long 24mm spindle. But this is where it gets difficult. If you decide to install a better bottom bracket, you will need to use the bottom bracket plastic cups that come with this set andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Bottom bracket fits standard 68mm and 73mm shells
Cons
  • Not bad but...
