ALTALINE 175MM LONG BICYCLE HEAVY-DUTY ONE PIECE GT STYLE BMX CRANK

• Size:

  • 175mm Length: The 175mm (or 6 7/8 inches) length is a popular choice among BMX, cruiser, and lowrider riders who seek both power and stability in their pedal strokes. This longer crank length is advantageous for taller riders or those who want greater leverage, making it ideal for enhancing acceleration, especially useful in single-speed applications and for riders looking to increase torque and power on uphill or off-road segments.

• Threading:

  • 24 TPI (Threads Per Inch): Designed with the industry-standard 24 TPI threading, compatible with American-style bottom brackets commonly found on BMX and cruiser bikes. This thread pitch ensures secure attachment and reduces the risk of loosening over time. It’s optimized for a secure fit with bottom bracket cups, enhancing pedal and crank arm stability under pressure.

• Pedal Compatibility:

  • 1/2-Inch Pedal Thread Size: This crank arm fits pedals with a 1/2-inch thread size, typical for BMX, cruiser, and lowrider bikes. This compatibility opens up a wide range of pedal options, from classic and retro styles to modern BMX platform pedals, allowing riders to choose based on grip preference and riding style.

• Material:

  • Heavy-Duty Steel Construction: Crafted from premium-grade, heavy-duty steel, this crank offers superior strength and durability. Known for its robustness, steel construction provides resistance against bending, cracking, and wear, even under high-torque applications. Ideal for custom lowriders, BMX bikes, and cruisers, this crank delivers longevity and peace of mind for riders tackling diverse terrains or using their bike daily. The material’s resilience also makes it suitable for bikes exposed to weather changes, helping prevent corrosion when well-maintained.

• Style:

  • GT Style: The GT-style design is inspired by classic BMX aesthetics and is known for its robust build and clean lines. The style lends itself well to BMX bikes, custom lowriders, and cruisers looking for a vintage yet bold look. GT-style cranks often feature minimalistic design elements, focusing on structure and durability, catering to riders who want performance without sacrificing style. This design pairs well with other classic GT-style components and can be a great foundation for bikes aiming for a cohesive vintage BMX or cruiser look.

• Color:

  • Polished Chrome Finish: The high-polish chrome finish on this crank adds an appealing, mirror-like quality to the bike. Chrome is known for its high durability, making it corrosion-resistant and able to withstand regular outdoor exposure. The reflective chrome finish is also highly scratch-resistant and provides an eye-catching, classic appearance. It complements a range of bike colors and styles, enhancing the bike’s visual appeal with a sleek, timeless touch. Chrome’s resistance to rust ensures that it maintains its sheen over time, especially with proper care.
