Choosing a Bicycle Chainring

I chose these cranks for a few reasons. They’re real light, pretty stiff, and I’ve never had any problems with banging cranks or pedals too much to ever bend/break a set of Shimano cranks. I chose 165mm for some additional ground clearance as well. These cranks don’t have pedal inserts or washers so a really strong hit on them might spell stripped pedal threads. Shimano also makes a Hone double crankset that does have the pedal washers & inserts for not much weight gain (~30g) if you’re looking for a little more security. The cranks were polished for a little unique look.
