At 570g (including compact rings spindle and bearings cups) it is the lightest stiffest and strongest carbon crank on the market, passing the new, far stricter CEN fatigue test.<br />The VumaQuad is a 4-arm carbon crank, available with standard and compact chain rings, has a 30.0mm spindle with 30mm external bearings. This crank set is 33% stiffer than the next lightest product on the market and passed the latest CEN fatigue test at the new standard of 1800 Newtons.<br />q factor is a 146mm<br />The standard bearings (grey cups) are USA made with ABEC 5 grade races and Grade 10 steel balls, no less than 2.5 times as round as the rest of the industry. We have a (gold) ceramic cup upgrade with ABEC 7 grade races and Grade 2 balls.The spindle, prebonded to the left arm, is aluminum 30mm, with a unique design that allows for weight reduction while retaining structural integrity and durability. The VumaQuad has been fatigue tested beyond 100,000 cycles.<br />Comes in the following length sizes: 170 mm, 172.5 mm, 175 mm and 180 mm. Alternative chain rings may be purchased as aftermarket items (53/39 or 50/34)<br />Please note:<br />The VumaQuad is compatible with all 68mm wide bottom brackets with either 1.37" x 24T English threads or 36mm x 24T Italian threads. The VumaQuad is designed to work only with the custom VumaQuad bottom bracket bearing cups.</div>Bicycle X-Changetag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18510011.post-89082629592819913562008-04-01T12:24:00.001-07:002008-04-01T12:24:27.977-07:00<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><p><object height='350' width='425'><param value='http://youtube.com/v/jB9SRm2c_LA' name='movie'/><embed height='350' width='425' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' src='http://youtube.com/v/jB9SRm2c_LA'/></object></p><p>Count the number of passed the white team throws....</p></div>Bicycle X-Changetag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18510011.post-27051709436694190612008-04-01T12:23:00.001-07:002008-04-01T12:23:53.321-07:00<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><p><object height='350' width='425'><param value='http://youtube.com/v/jB9SRm2c_LA' name='movie'/><embed height='350' width='425' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' src='http://youtube.com/v/jB9SRm2c_LA'/></object></p><p>Count the number of passed the white team throws....</p></div>Bicycle X-Changetag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18510011.post-24983880298316422562008-01-24T09:33:00.000-08:002008-01-24T09:48:24.671-08:00During the cold weather stop in and check out our <span style="color:#3366ff;"><em>SALES!!!</em></span><br /><br />Right now winter items are on sale such as jerseys, tights, gloves, jackets, and more....<br /><br />Thinking about a NEW road bike for spring now is the time to buy!!!!
