- Crank Identification (Please Help)
- By:admin
- Does anyone happen to know the name and manufacturer of this aero type crank pictured in this yamaguchi link? I am putting together an old funny bike and would like to try and find this type of crankset, but first need a name!
Thank you,
Kalman

Why don't you use the email address from your link and ask yamaguchi directly?

Is that your bike. It is quite trick, yes?

Nothing special about the crankarms, but those are "triathlon" chainrings. The solid construction (no cutouts) is supposed to improve aerodynamics and power transfer, but there is a weight penalty. The two most popular brands are Shimano Dura-Ace and FSA. The Dura-Ace comes in a nickel-aluminum finsh and two different models. The 9 speed is looks like the one in the pic, except for the color. The 10 speed has large scallops between the mounting holes. The one in the picture looks like an FSA without the logo. The FSA is less expensive than the Dura-Ace models. Try Googling "FSA triathlon chainring" and "Dura-Ace triathlon chainring".
