Wanted: Crank set with 48T chain ring

Posted on
  • Before I try buying stuff of Ebay was wondering if anyone had a silver or black crank set with a 48 teeth chain ring that they wanted to sell.

    Ideally it would suit a 107mm square tapered BB so I don't have to buy a new one.

  • What type taper is the BB? ISO or JIS?

  • It's a Shimano UN54 for a 68mm BB.


  • I've got this, its a campagnolo chours chainset with a brand new TA 1/8" track ring and is so lovely it makes me weep that I have to sell it

  • Wow! How much?

  • Sorry I should of said, £60 posted.
    I've just advertized it in a different thread

  • Will it fit my existing bracket?

  • no you need a campg fitment one

  • Is there any difference between the Stronglight Impact cranks that Hubjub used to sell, and me buying Impact Road or Impact Compact and just removing the extra chain rings?

  • most likely the same thing, you will need shorter bolts thats all

  • £40 FSA chainsets:

    Re: Stronglight - Yeah the ones HubJub sold were most likely road cranks with a 1/8" chainring and shorter bolts. If this is the case, why not buy a nicer set of road cranks and buy a 1/8" chainring for £20-25. You could buy a nice looking Campag or Shimano set. Someone was selling some lovely DA cranks on here - http://www.londonfgss.com/thread21603.html

    I have considered those as they are good value but wouldn't that require a 110mm BB whilst the Impact uses 107mm which I currently have?

    I dunno really, might be best to check the Transmission Database - I know someone who uses a 107mm JIS BB with that chainset...

    Stronglight seems the better bet as given that I have a UN54 and a System EX hub:-

    Stronglight + UN53/107mm + Sys-X + Formula= MA3K

    Compared to:-

    FSA Vero + Shimano UN54 110mm + System EX + On-One = Buddha Fingaz

  • Thanks for the tip Pifko. I ended up grabbing that Dura Ace crank.

  • Cool, Not sure what BB you'd need with those. If you want to mount the chainring on the outside of the spider, you'd need a fairly short BB axle. There are 103mm JIS BB's available.

  • If the transmission database is any guide I should be able to use my 107mm. I am going to have a nice setup with this crank and the new EAI sprocket I plan to order.

    Pifko do you have any recommendations for chain rings within that price range? I had a look at Hubjub but they charge £44 quid or so for a 48T Surly ring.
