Cheap and gets the job done, BUT.

It's cheap and will do what's needed. Unlike a LOT of cranksets available today this is one solid piece so the ring is not going to come lose and break like a lot of those other chranksets / chainsets do. One complaint which is so far why I took off 2 stars was the lack of a crank bolt. The description does not say it's included, but also does not say it's not. Generally they are included with even the cheapest sets. I saved mine from the last set, so I'm glad I did now. Really should be in the

Pros
  • Works great on my fat bike.
Cons
  • Limited compatibility: CDHPOWER Single Speed Crankset may not be compatible with all types of bikes, limiting its potential use for some riders

No Problem at All - my new review

My previous crankset was 42T. With 14-28 (7 speed cassette) in the back, the lowest two gears were comfortable to go round town while towing my daughter in a trailer. But we came across the occasional hill, I didn't have any more gears to help.Switching to a 36T crankset was just the ticket. It moved my normal riding range to the the middle of the rear cassette. I can shift down for hills and shift up to go faster.The crankset itself is study and came packaged well, so the gear was not warped…

Pros
  • Very well made, very happy with this product
Cons
  • Some riders have reported durability issues with this crankset, suggesting that it may not last as long as alternatives

Put it on my Beach Cruiser

I put this on my beach cruiser to go up the hills in San Francisco. This crank is well made and was easy to install. I am about 225 lbs. and beat my bikes to death. I have had the crank for about a month and it is exceptional.

Pros
  • Good value. Worked perfect to replace the crank on my beach cruiser.
Cons
  • Serious cyclists may want to avoid single speed cranksets as they limit gear ratios and may not provide sufficient options for challenging terrain

Good quality and good value.

This crank enabled me to easily change my gearing to make hill climbing much easier and more pleasant. It did however lower the top speed to about 16mph. But for a mountain or city bike, that is an appropriate top speed. You will need a crank removal tool to change the crank.

Pros
  • Great crank. Great quality. Light
Cons
  • Limited resale value: If you decide to sell your bike in the future, the fact that it has a single speed crankset may limit its resale value

Love it! for my opinion

Perfect gear for going 1x with a stock cassette, I had my doubts, but once I got it on the trail I was blown away! The crank arms are sturdy but light, and I don’t feel like I’ve lost any climbing ability going from stock 3x to this 1xUpdate: took my bike out yesterday to an area with more serious climbs, and could tell it was harder to climb, was wishing I had a smaller chain ring in front. That don’t mean I dislike this crank set now, I still love it, but I would look into matching it with a…

Pros
  • Sports
Cons
  • Competitive cyclists typically opt for more expensive and sophisticated cycling gear, which may make this product a poor choice for their needs

Great product for the price!

Solid set of cranks. Package arrived with no damage and the installation was pretty easy. I have since but 30+ miles on my 7-speed bike and haven’t had any issues what-so-ever.

Pros
  • was as described. fit was great works as intended
Cons
  • Once installed, adjustments to this crankset can be difficult, which can be problematic for riders who like to tweak their bike's performance

Worthy crankset for beach cruiser

Pretty good crankset if you need to ride a lower gear on your beach cruiser. Not the lightest crankset on the planet, but no one builds high end race parts for beach cruisers. I paired this with a smooth Shimano bottom bracket. Works great.

Pros
  • works great and fits perfect
Cons
  • May affect performance: Some users have reported that the CDHPOWER Single Speed Crankset negatively affects their bike's performance or makes it harder to pedal
