Riro 24mm axle carbon crankset

[Jet the Panda]

Just get the Racework 29mm crankset version with the 3 bolt interface and then get a 4 bolt adapter:

Those yellow graphics are too ugly

For 50 grams or so I'd just get a used Sram gxp or Quarq branded crank. Sameish money used and with a track record. And with a steel spindle.

That's what black tape is for!

You could the Leese that come with the 4bolt adapter as standard. More choice of length than the Raceworks, and the cost will come in similar by the time you've added in the adaptor. I also prefer the graphics on the Leese.

I bought the Leese last night to pair with some Sprill chainrings for AXS. Really crossing my fingers that it will work. $185 was my total and thought it was worth the try

Was chatting with the vendor last night and when asked if they're of good quality

"We have been selling for 2 years, with sales exceeding a thousand, and have never experienced any quality issues"

Their warranty is 2 yrs but just like any Chinese vendor that's a huge caveat

Quick question, is the 29mm version conpatible with a BSA bottom bracket? It does not say so in all the listings I've seen on Ali.

Sure, you just need DUB standard BSA BB.

Side note: some don't like DUB on BSA as the bearings are slightly smaller and *could* wear out more quickly. Personally, dont know about that but just wanted to leave it here, in case it matters to someone.

Just a heads up for those who might have seizing issues using certain bottom bracket with the Riro crankset. Awhile back I was having issues using my Riro crankset with my BB86 frame using a ZTTO thread together bottom bracket. I noticed with the preload adjuster ring (on the non-drive side crank arm), it would seize up when trying to tighten the crank. I opted to remove the preload adjuster all-together, and lo and behold it fit. Though I'm wondering what might be causing the crank to seize considering there is perhaps less than .5mm of difference with and without the preload adjuster? As mentioned on here before, it might have to do with certain bearing sizes?

Anyways, the next issue is that it leave the adjuster threads on the crank arm exposed. I ended up using a black flat rubber band that come with new tires. The ones I have (rubber band from a set of Panaracer tires) was a perfect fit to cover the threads and when the crankset is torqued to spec, creates a nice weather seal.

Hope this helps for those who might be having issues!

Which version of the Riro crankset do you have? The 24mm or the newer DUB?

This hack is specifically for th 24mm Riro crankset. I currently use a 3 bolt Magene PM, so the 24mm version works for my use. It’s also cheaper.
