Renowned among randonneurs and cyclo-tourists, the enduring appeal of classic 50.4 BCD cranks persists. These cranks boast remarkable versatility, accommodating chain rings ranging from 28t to 62t, while maintaining a lightweight design and narrow Q-factor.
Introducing the Velo Orange 50.4 Crankset—a modern reinterpretation of the classic aesthetic with several crucial enhancements. Crafted through cold forging from high-quality 7075 aluminum alloy, these cranks feature thicker rings to eliminate flex common in traditional designs. The outer rings are equipped with contemporary shifting aids like ramps and pins, markedly improving shifting performance. Chainring hardware is constructed from stainless steel and features allen head nuts/bolts. The alumnium dust caps and stainless crank bolts double as self-extracting crank hardware, adding a touch of efficiency to this upgraded classic.
