ORIGIN8Triple Alloy Crankarms, Silver

See title.

I do custom builds and when I put together bikes for myself I prefer a smaller crank. This one looks good on the build, is solid in construction and gives that added clearance in turns. It's not the lightest but it was hard to find any other cranks that size. Overall I am happy with it and use it every day!

I used these in place of some Shimano STX cranks on a mountain bike because the STX chainrings were too short for my riding. The Origin 8 triple crankarms were considerably lighter.These are nice looking crankarms that will accept a wide range of chainrings. Note that you will likely need a 127mm bottom bracket if you have a 68mm wide shell.I like them and would buy them again.

I bought them as I wanted to try short cranks on a high BB SWB recumbent. Good product, look great in silver. Be nice if they also came in black. Very happy with the price and the fact that Origin 8 make them as short cranks in this spec are rare. A knee saver.The Q factor is a few mm more than the FSAs the cranks had to replace. They fit well on the square taper BB but a pity they are not available in Hollowtech. My chainrings fitted beautifully.I initially bought the 145s and used them without the supplied spacers. The shift to the big ring did not work too well. The difference from the original 172.5mm cranks on my Bacchetta was dramatic, good and easy spinning but I missed the torque. I then bought some 155s and used the spacers. Perfect shifting and the perfect compromise between spinning and torque and no more knee issues which was the original reason for the change.

These are decent for the price, I feel I got what I paid for. I'm really glad Origin8 offers these shorter 155mm cranks compatible with a road triple 130 bcd setup, and I know they have them for other configurations, too. This helped me fit my wife's road bike where she actually could get comfortable. It came with 170mm cranks on a 44cm road bike, which is absurd in my view. Good for shorter or junior riders, don't hesitate!
