Around here we run FSA Energy hollow forged aluminum cranks on everything. \u00a0Stiff and light, they don’t fail. \u00a0I have the 130 BCD version on my Soma Smoothie. \u00a0This is to accommodate 53\/39 rings.<\/p>\n

Connor has the 110 BCD version on his Formula BMX bike. \u00a0 MegaExo bottom bracket takes a beating and keeps going.<\/p>\n

I run the exact same crank on my cyclocross bike with Race Face Narrow Wide 38 or 40T single chain ring, 1×10. \u00a0The cranks are notorious for the graphics rubbing off so once they get too bad I remove the left over paint from the anodized aluminum using fingernail polish remover, leaving them glossy black.<\/p>\n

Overall I think not much beyond an unlimited budget build would keep me from choosing Energy’s, the Swiss Army knives of the crankarm world. \u00a0 Let’s face it Gossamers are not bad stock cranks if they were just a bit stiffer and lighter. \u00a0The Energys answer these faults and can now be found on a lot of Ultegra level stock builds. \u00a0I prefer them for non proprietary chainring choices, standard BCD’s. \u00a0Every bit as stiff as Ultegra and many carbon cranks, \u00a0the can often be found on eBay for as little as $75. \u00a0The BB30s are just a little more. \u00a0Installed correctly they provide no excuses.<\/p>\n
