Mountain Bike Crank Arms
- a bicycle with a sturdy frame and fat tires; originally designed for riding in mountainous country
- A bicycle with a light sturdy frame, broad deep-treaded tires, and multiple gears, originally designed for riding on mountainous terrain
- A bicycle specially designed for off-road riding, typically with straight, flat handlebars, a heavier frame than road bikes, higher ground clearance, and wider tires, sometimes with knobs on them for greater traction
- (Mountain biking) Mountain biking is a sport which consists of riding bicycles off-road, often over rough terrain, using specially adapted mountain bikes. Mountain bikes share similarities with other bikes, but incorporate features designed to enhance durability and performance in rough terrain.
- The crankset (in the US) or chainset (in the UK), is the component of a bicycle drivetrain that converts the reciprocating motion of the rider's legs into rotational motion used to drive the chain, which in turn drives the rear wheel.
- The part of the bike the pedals attach to.
- (Crank Arm) The arm that is used to connect your pedals to the bottom bracket.
Orange Elite Limited Edition
Retro style circa 1992-3. Feat drilled crank arm, Pace forks (with KEVLAR!!!) and a mammoth 1" travel, Suntour chain rings, XT rear mech, pink anodised X-Lite bar ends and QR skewers, Hydraulic rim brakes (which don't work very well), Thomson Flite saddle (which is a pretty knackered), THUMB SHIFTERS (which do work), flat bars and a stem which is as long as my arm.
Despite all that it's really, really light (must be less than 25lbs) and rides quite nicely - although you can't stop.
As with any bike this age though, it's not in perfect condition. The rims are pretty chewed up, there's a crack in the Campagnolo rear too. There's also a scratch in the paint on the non-drive side chain stay (pictured). The brakes need replacing with canti-lever brakes (this was built before V brakes) and the chain, cassette and chain rings could do with replacing.
Still...looks good doesn't it?
My Boy!
My new GT Mountain Bike. I am really happy with the iDrive feature. With the crank being mounted on the swing arm with the rear shock, I can kick as hard as I want and not have to worry about losing half the energy to the rear suspension.
