Sram Red DZero Quarq Bicycle Crankset Review

August 25, 2018 Gooze No Comments Drivetrain Components

Sram Red DZero Quarq Bicycle Crankset

  • Arm Material: Exogram Hollow Carbon
  • Arm Length: 165 mm, 170 mm, 172.5 mm, 175 mm
  • Bolt Circle Diameter: [compact] 110 mm, [standard] 130 mm
  • Rings: 1 or 2
  • BB Type: BB30

For the self-sponsored racer who uses multiple bikes in different disciplines, the powermeter game can turn into an exercise in astronomic expenditure. Quarq’s SRAM Red DZero Power Meter Crank Arms address economic concerns by combining every key piece of powermeter technology in Quarq’s stable with a redesigned measurement circuit, the same relatively attainable price that defined the new system’s predecessors, and the ability to quickly swap between frames and chainrings for omniums. The result is an uncompromising platform whose less-capable predecessors were ridden to sprint victories, solo stage wins, and grand tour podiums by Katusha and Ag2r-La Mondiale in 2016 alone. Since the Red DZero represents an improved version of that model, we’re eager to see what it can do this year in both the peloton and our own bottom brackets. As with the rest of the DZero line, the Red model still incorporates five strain gauges strategically placed throughout the spider in order to measure the Newton meters you’re throwing into the pedals, and–except for the alloy spider–it features the same Exogram carbon crank arms and graphical treatment as the standard Red crank. It’s also still got the same claimed accuracy of +/- 1. 5%, so its numbers are 0. 5% more accurate than most meters, but the new design requires less correction in order to maintain accuracy in drastic temperature changes. Fewer corrections mean the latest SRAM Red power meter model also better rations battery life than the previous generations, though when the battery does go out, you can still change it without tools or having to ship the whole thing to the manufacturer. The Red DZero system’s accuracy is further boosted by the return of Quarq’s 10k dynamic temperature compensation technology, which alleviates the need for constant, mid-race zeroings in variable conditions. Even if it’s just coasting for a few seconds or toggling through your head unit to the proper option, it can still be the difference be…

SRAM FORCE BB30 2.2 Crankset Review

SRAM FORCE BB30 2.2 Crankset

  • Chainring Sizes: 50 / 34 T SRAM PowerGlide, 53 / 39 T SRAM PowerGlide

With every new generation of SRAM FORCE, it gets harder and harder to distinguish it from RED. And believe us, the FORCE BB30 2.2 Crankset skews the line more than ever. With an integrated carbon fiber spider, carbon crankarms, and chainrings that are a spitting image of 2011 RED, the FORCE 2.2 is just as ready to race as its older brother. For the construction of the FORCE 2.2 crankset, SRAM continues its use of unidirectional carbon fiber on the arms and spider. The reasoning for this is simple — it provides the stiffest, lightest, and most vibration-absorbent ride quality possible. When examining the load paths, SRAM found that the single-direction of the fibers transmit force with more clarity and less dissipation. So, when you drop the hammer, you’re going to experience a clean and precise transfer of your energy to the rear wheel. And with the BB30 system, this is amplified even further. Just like the RED crankset, FORCE BB30 2.2 benefits from the system’s 10% increase in rigidity, 20% lighter weight, and 300% greater ankle clearance over SRAM’s GXP bottom bracket. And new to the 2.2 iteration of FORCE, you can expect trickle-down, RED-like PowerGlide chainrings to enhance all of the characteristics above. These broad and stiff chainrings are the perfect mating to the 2.2’s integrated, carbon fiber spider. They provide a stiff transfer of power while the gates and ramps ensure flawless shifting from ring to ring. Each aluminum ring has also been given a hard-anodized finish to guarantee longevity over multiple seasons. Compared to the prior generations of Force PowerGlide rings, there is no comparison. The SRAM FORCE BB30 2.2 Crankset is available in both a compact 50/34t and standard 53/39t chainring configuration and in 170, 172.5, 175, and 177.5mm crankarm lengths. Please note that the compact ring configuration still operates perfectly with a standard Force front derailleur.

Rotor 3D Plus Road Crankarms Review

August 24, 2018 Gooze No Comments Drivetrain Components

Rotor 3D Plus Road Crankarms

  • Arm Material: 7055 alloy
  • Arm Length: 170 mm, 172.5 mm, 175 mm
  • Bolt Circle Diameter: 110 mm, 130 mm
  • BB Type: BB30, BBRight
  • Bolts: included

Carbon cranksets might be all the rage, but those of us looking for a certain aesthetic, or certain stiffness, are still inclined to look to well-made, machined aluminum cranks to complete our builds. The Rotor 3D Plus Road Crankarms are the pinnacle of alloy crank construction. They’re Trinity drilled, like most Rotor cranks, which relieves excess material without compromising strength or stiffness in the process -like a much-safer drillium. The result is similar to a box-truss bridge, and is as stiff as you’d expect a Rotor crank to be. The 3D Plus Road also uses a 30mm spindle, but thanks to Rotor’s work on the bottom bracket front, it’ll fit everything from traditional, 28mm threaded bottom brackets to BB Right, to BB30, so no matter what kind of bike you’re riding, you can ride Rotor cranks. Additionally, the 3D Plus are designed to accept any kind of rings, including Rotor’s ovalized Q-Rings. You’ll choose between 110mm and 130mm BCD, but if you change your mind down the road, the alloy spider can be swapped quite easily for the other size. This also makes it play quite nicely with spider-based powermeters, like the SRM or Quarq.

About Shimano Engineered Dyna-Sys Drivetrains:
Shimano has been making mountain bike drivetrains for more than three decades, including eight generations of Shimano Deore XT–the original off-road drivetrain, and six generations of its flagship XTR group. Each generation is a reflection of the riding that defines the sport and the technology that defines the era. True to this legacy, Shimano’s next-generation Dyna-Sys drivetrain brings with it the legendary quality, durability and performance Shimano is known for, all packaged to meet the ever-evolving demands of today’s riders.

Dyna-Sys combines features like quick-shifting CloseStep front gear ratios (think: bigger granny, smaller big ring), a wide-range 11- to 36-tooth 10-speed cassette and re-engineered shifters and derailleurs that are less susceptible to trail chatter or contamination. Together, Shimano Systems Engineering unlocks performance and versatility never before seen in a triple–all tied together with the industry’s first mountain-bike-specific 10-speed chain. Riders who would otherwise have to pull the ripcord and battle technical climbs from the trenches of their granny gear range, can now push farther up the trail in their middle ring thanks to the increased range of the 36-tooth low-end rear gear. The granny gear is still there, you’ll just need it less, and the 42-tooth big ring is more useable and easier to get into than ever before, so you’ll use it more. Simply put, XTR Trail is the most efficient mountain bike drivetrain singletrack has ever seen.

About Shimano XTR Trail Components:
After nearly two decades of cross-country race domination, XTR is branching into terrain the UCI would never dare sanction an XC race on. Why? Because trail riders like you have long dreamed of a component group that truly complements how, where, and why you ride. Meet XTR Trail, crafted with all the precision and strength riders have come to expect from XTR, but refocused specifically for the demands of today’s trail riders. The XTR Trail Series features a reconfigured triple-ring crank that delivers trail-tuned gear ratios for optimum, all-day efficiency, while the most powerful XTR brake to date delivers usable, confidence-inspiring performance in even the most sustained descents. Platform SPD pedals provide a stable connection to the machine and wide-profile scandium wheels track confidently through the rough stuff. Bottom line: XTR Trail lets you ride faster with more control over rougher terrain. The best part is that XTR Trail is the yin to XTR Race’s yang, and together mountain biking’s first family of components offers a broad matrix of fully interchangeable options to tune your ride.
