Mark & Joel VO also sells a replacement 34T ring with the triplerazier tabs for $50 https://velo-orange.com/collections/cranks/products/middle-ring-for-gc-triple-crankset-34t If using the VO or Defiant, it may be wise to buy 1 or 2 spare 36T rings. VO has a 20% off sale from time to time.

I believe VO uses the same mold as the IRD Defiant cranks: https://www.interlocracing.com/shop/product/ird-crankset-defiant-triple-4060 I'm pretty sure the VO crankset is not "hollow." I like the look of the VO/Defiant, which is based on vintage Sugino Mighty Tour which is based on old Campy

John, I ordered that and the Sugino. The Sugino is MIJ, the Velo is MIT. The Velo triple feels hollow, I am waiting for the Sugino to come to do a side by side. I am leaning heavily to the Sugino as I have had good luck with them in the past. Thanks for your thought, hope all is well. Joel On

Joel I looked at the VO website. The triple seems to use a tripleralizer design for the inner ring. You need a special middle ring having the extension and holes for the inner ring, sinc ethe crank has no casting for the inner ring nuts. Something to consider. John Hawrylak Woodstown NJ.

I have a VO Drillium crank, a VO Gran Cru 50.4 BCD crank with VO single chainring and a Sun XCD crank with the same VO single chainring. My only complaint is that the chainrings are only polished on one side, the backside of the chainrings are not polished at all - kind of a very fine pebbly

Depends if you want additional ankle clearance on your crank. The Sugino XD arms flare out, whereas I don't think the VO arms do. Nick On Friday, 31 July 2020 08:58:29 UTC+10, Joel Stern wrote: > > I was going to buy a Sugino XD 600 but they are about the same price. I > figure the Grand Cru

Thanks Ray. I lost a couple of inches after back surgery but was already using the 165's and really liked them better than the 170 or 175's I had used earlier, thanks for the feedback On Thursday, July 30, 2020 at 7:13:21 PM UTC-4, Ray wrote: > > Hi Joel, I have the 110 triple in 165mm on my

Hi Joel, I have the 110 triple in 165mm on my Soma San Marcos and like it very much. I think the design is lovely, and it installed easily. I'm about 5'6" and had 175's on the original build as delivered, which was very uncomfortable. I sold those on eBay and got the right size and it made a
