Mountain Bike Crankset
Q: I own a Specialized Rockhopper mountain bike and I'm looking at changing out the crankset. It is a 24 speed bike and the only thing I've changed out is the pedals to a Shimano set.
I am not sure what crankset will work with my bike or
A: I wouldn't bother with changing the crank set. I don't use the first gear on my bike either but its there for when I do need it.
What do people think the point sunrace? I need a pedal, but on a bugit, what do you recommend?
if you are not anwser recommeneding xtr, Deore bugit plaese in mind,
SunRACE is not something I recommend for anything other than motorcycles cheapest and most basic. SUNTOUR is a pretty good mark for the money but again, nothing special. I agree with Shimano Deore. Good stuff at a good price.
As you might imagine, the height of the tread above the cleat-contact area on the outsole on various mountain bike shoes varies even on new shoes, and it really varies with tread wear. Crank Brothers makes its pedals so that they will easily clip in with most shoes on the market. This means that once the cleat is engaged, some shoes with lower tread will have the tread raised up off of the pedal body. This is a performance issue for some riders. If the tread is low enough that there is space between the tread and the pedal surface on either end, then the shoe will not only rock, but the spring will also open and close with each forceful downward push. This not only can feel disconcerting and make noise, but it also robs energy in foot slop and repeated compression of the springs, and it accelerates wear on the springs.
