BLB Track Crankset

BLB Track is a crankset that gets the job done without draining your savings. Its classic look uses a square-taper bottom bracket; we recommend the Tange LN-3922 107 mm, which pairs perfectly with the crankset. If you don't already have them lying around, you can find M8 crank bolts from us!

BLB Track is a crankset for fixed gear and single speed that gets the job done without the price getting out of hand. It is made by Andel for Brick Lane Bikes and has a simple, classic shape that works just as well on a clean track build as on a fixed gear bike used every day.

The crank arms are 165 mm long and made of aluminium, a common length for fixed gear because it provides a little extra clearance between the pedal and the ground. The CNC-machined 1/8-inch chainring is available with 46, 47, or 48 teeth, so you can choose the gearing based on how and where you ride.

An important detail is that BLB Track uses a 130 mm BCD, not the 144 mm standard common on many more traditional track cranksets. If you want to change the chainring later, you will therefore need to choose a 1/8-inch chainring with a 130 BCD. The crankset mounts to a JIS square-taper bottom bracket with a 107 mm axle; we usually use the Tange LN-3922 107 mm with it.

This is not the crankset for someone building a pure race bike and chasing the lowest weight or a 144 BCD. It is a sensible choice when you want an affordable fixed gear crankset with 165 mm cranks, a replaceable chainring, and a proven square-taper interface. The bottom bracket and crank bolts are not included.
