The Ciari 4 piece chromoly cranks are designed with many unique features. Riders can adjust the spacing on the chain ring without changing spacing of the crank arms. Riders can keep their cranks center on the frame and align the chain ring in 1mm increments for a straight chain line. Since the chain ring is not directly connected to the crank arm there is no wobble in the sprocket caused by the connecting bolt pressing the sprocket to the crank arm. The Ciari 4 piece cranks can be used with either right or left side drive hubs. Designed to be used with 4 bolt chain rings. No special tools required, only a 5, 6 and 8mm Allen wrench and a cresset wrench for the entire installation. Black euro bottom bracket included with cranks. The Ciari cranks are available in sizes 170mm, 175mm and 180mm.
