SRAM S300 Courier Crankstel

My only complaint is that the crank set is not available in a 175mm crank length.

Optisch ein Blickfang!!!Aber ich weiß nicht ob es Verlängerungen gibt. Weil die linke Pedale schlägt am Rahmen an.

This crankset really slaps my pickle, let me tell you. It was extremely affordable and is buttery smooth, too. I will never go back to the regular bottom bracket cranksets of old, no sir, this is a new age and a new millennium for the sleekest cranksets of all: the Courier Crankset. Buy it and don't look back (unless you're swapping lanes, then please, check for an oncoming car).

Ich habe den Kurbelsatz für nur 80€ im Sale gekauft, Innenlager war auch dabei. Montiert ist dieser an meinem Pendelbike (Singlespeed). Habe damit nun circa 5.000 km abgerissen - alles in bester Ordnung. Ist natürlich kein Omnium, aber für die Hälfte des Preises kann man es auch nicht erwarten.Eine Sache stört mich aber schon, daher auch der Punktabzug: das Kettenblatt auszutauschen ist eine Zumutung. Die Schrauben ließen sich nicht zerstörungsfrei abschrauben. SRAM möchte wohl nicht, dass man das Kettenblatt wechselt...

I'm very pleased with this crankset. You're probably wondering if it's worth it to upgrade to this from your current square-tapered crankset. Let me tell you, it's like night and day, and well worth every penny. This SRAM S300 is very well engineered, well made, smooth and well balanced, very solid, and it's not too heavy. I was, especially, pleased that my bike's chain-line remained perfectly straight after installation. The difference in ride quality between the S300's spline-drive and an old-school square-tapered set was immediately apparent.Something worth noting are the chainring nut/bolts. You may have heard people commenting on how the nut/bolts are, apparently, glued together and impossible to remove without drilling. Well, they're definitely stuck on there and must be drilled off. I tried using the proper tools to properly remove them, and even took it to the bike shop to see if they'd have better luck than I did, but no dice; had to be drilled, so make sure that you buy some extra chainring bolts if you intend to change out your chainring. Use a very large metal drill bit to eliminate the entire chainring nut(s) from the back side. This will, probably, damage the included chainring and void any included warrantee, so drill at your own risk. Make sure to remove all metal shavings from bearing surfaces before installing.Information that wasn't included (in my box, at least):1) The two little washers that are included are to be installed on your pedals, to protect the crank-arms from pedal installation damage.2) You'll need both a 10mm and 8mm hex-bit (allen-tool) to install the the non-drive crank-arm. The 8mm crank-bolt torque spec is 48Nm-54Nm (35ft.lb-39ft.lb). The metal cap that covers the crank-bolt has a 10mm hex fitting, and hand snugging it is sufficient. I recommend taking to your local bike shop, if you don't have the proper tools for the installation, and/or you don't feel confident about installing the part.3) Make sure to use bicycle, or any other good waterproof (marine), grease for assembly of your bottom-bracket. Walmart carries a decent marine grease.
