Overview

A single-ring trail drivetrain is where this crankset belongs, using a two-piece aluminum body for rigidity and simpler installation and maintenance. The title specifies arm length, chainring size and the chain line it is built for.

A clear spec list and a Deore build suit riders who already know their bottom bracket and want a one-by crankset. The listing leaves out the bottom bracket, and some data fields, such as the mount type, look unreliable.

Who it's for

Trail riders converting to a single chainring, and those already owning a compatible bottom bracket, get a Deore crankset at known arm length. Anyone who wants a double ring setup, or a complete kit with bearings, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Two-piece aluminum construction
  • Simple install and upkeep
  • Clear arm and ring sizes
  • Single-ring Deore layout
Cons
  • Bottom bracket not included
  • Chainguard status is unclear
  • Some spec fields look unreliable

Performance notes

The chain line has to match the cassette and frame so the chain runs straight across the range. Arm length sets the leverage and clearance, and the ring size sets the gearing together with the cassette.
