Newish ZEROING crankset - Ingrid clone
nh185:
Hey guys,
it seems we donˈt have a thread on the new crankset by ZEROING. Heaps of offers on Aliexpress currently and as far as Iˈm concerned they pretty much look like a copy of the Ingrid crankset.
Really like the looks of them, and Iˈm seriously contemplating in using them on a Neo Retro build I am currently building up. However what sets me off is the 24mm alloy axle and the mounting system that goes with it. Looks pretty much like the Fovno Phantom/Ghost axle and Iˈve heard of the crankbolt shearing off on them. Iˈve also already seen a review from someone who had his crankbolt shearing off on them aswell so I am fearing that this beautiful crankset is suffering from the same problems as the Fovnos.
Has anyone found a trick to make these 24mm alloy axles on chinese cranksets last?

I'm using 3 bikes with 24mm alloy axle spindles (2 carbon, 1 hollow alloy). I'll report back after a few hundred miles/kilometers. I'm wondering if the issue is with improper clamp bolt torque settings? Just ask any of these sellers and they have no clue what the settings are.

I have those cranks and that same bolt broke on mine after about 10 miles.

I've always been wary of chinese parts or frames that are obvious copies. They tend to have more effort invested in aesthetics than functionality. Nonetheless I almost ordered one of these because they do look really good. Glad I waited a bit.

Yeah after reading up on the Fovno cranksets and other reviews of this crank some more, Ive decided to give these a hard pass aswell. No point in paying a 100 bucks for nice looking cranksets that will fail after a couple of months or even just after 10 miles.
I'm wondering what goes through these manufacturers minds sometimes - it would be really easy for them to fix this problem: simply install a well made steel crank bolt instead of the alloy bolts as they seem to hold about as much torque as swiss cheese.
