Title: Nice 144BCD Crankset?
Post by: RDY on July 24, 2020, 07:33:35 PM

Ali not turning up much. XACD will probably make one, but at 144BCD it'll likely be considered custom and cost ~$300.  At which point I might as well just order Royce.

Anybody know of some nice 7xxx, 2xxx aluminium, or titanium cranks that are pret a porter?  CN or TW.

There are a few 130 options, but bugger all at the track size.  And of course we have Fovno / Dexas for MTB.

I know someone on German MTB forum who will shorten any cranks for 35€. Sure it has to be possible to shorten.
I assume there must be someone in the states doing the same.

I might have misunderstood your inquiry.
I thought you are looking for cranks with shorter arms. But it seems you are looking for a crank with huge BCD.
But why would you need that strange BCD?

And if you look down each one, there are additional suggestions too.

Fixed gears and track bikes often use the 144 bcd.
