Pedal Compatibility:

• 1/2-Inch Pedal Threading: Standard for one-piece crank systems, commonly used in cruisers and lowriders. This threading size allows a wide range of pedal options, especially vintage-style pedals.

Material:

• Steel Construction: Known for its durability and strength, steel is an excellent choice for riders who prioritize longevity and resilience. Steel cranks are robust enough to withstand impact and provide long-lasting performance, particularly in demanding cruiser and lowrider setups.

Set of Components:

• 9 Pieces: This bottom bracket set includes all the necessary components for installing and securing a one-piece crank in the bottom bracket shell, ensuring smooth operation and stability.

Ball Retainer:

• 5/16 x 9 Balls: This size and configuration of ball bearings help reduce friction within the bottom bracket, allowing the crank to rotate smoothly. The 5/16" ball size provides a stable and reliable interface between the crank spindle and bottom bracket shell, enhancing durability.

• Steel: Like the crank, the bottom bracket’s steel construction ensures strength and long-lasting performance. This is particularly valuable for bikes that experience frequent use or rougher riding conditions.

Color:

• Chrome Finish: Complements the chrome crank, providing a cohesive look. The chrome finish also adds corrosion resistance, protecting the steel components from rust and wear.
