what size chain will work with this crankset
1871470
Standard multi-sprocket chain will work but each bike is different for about 10 bucks you can get a chain-breaker that pushes out the pin in the chain, match the old chain or string the chain on your biggest gear on the back going through the derailer properly and go around the biggest gear in the front give yourself just a little slack so the chain will jump to the smaller gears and push the chain pin a little more than3/4 of the way out and take out the excess piece of chain and re-pin the chain closed cycle the chain to the smallest in the back and front and test ride, if it skips you might have to get a rear derailer that has a longer body to accommodate the range of the 40, 53. mountain bike derailers are longer than street bikes derailers and will interchange with a chain length adjustment. Your front gear change mechanism's arc might be smaller than the 53 tooth sprocket and if you use one thats to small it'll kick off the chain at inappropriate times. 20 bucks at the bike shop fixes that.

Hi Mary, I think you need one that is specified for a 3 piece crank. Search 3 piece bottom bracket which Amazon displays and you should find the correct one. Research you bike model referencing the crank as well. Hope this helps. Greg

No, I think this crankset will be too short/not wide enough; made to fit a 68mm (shell width=width of bracket minus the spindle). You, have to find one that is 73mm. hope this helps.

We bought the Shimano UN55 BB Square Taper Bottom Bracket 68X107mm to use with Origin8 Square Top Track/Single Speed Crankset - 170mm x 46T Square Taper White.

You can use any size as long as you have your chain fit the size of the bar. If it don't fit the bar you can have links added or taken away.

A SRAM Omnium crankset will work but you may have to shave down a few of the crankset bolts otherwise those bolts will hit the frame. I was able to do it and it worked.

Go on the Oregon web site. They have a lookup function where it will list all the chains that will fit

Check the crank manufacturer specs for pedal spindle diameter compatibility.

Does the bottom bracket on you bike have a square ends where it mounts to the crankset? Chain line and shifting may need to be adjusted if you are not set up for a double crankset already. Chain length will change if you are not running a 53t chain ring already. Just some things to think about.

It fits most crank sets but would depend on whether it uses a typical bike crank set

No. The recommended length BB for this crankset is 113mm, however I put a 110mm BB on my touring bike. It really depends on the geometry of the bike, but a 123mm length is way too long for this crankset.

I put them on my mountain bike. They fit any crank shaft. As for what size, I don't remember having a size to select from, so you are on your own with that decision.

Thanks.. I've done that.. I hope I get an answer.. I've been unable to find a chain that fits my bike.. I hope they can help me.

Looks like the 17t runs the 1/8" chain vs the 17t 3/32 runs the 3/32" chain. Hope this helps.

My set up: sram red compact crank and sram 1050 12-32 cassette...works fine, no issues, has been on my bike for over a year...though I did not determine the correct chain length, I had my LBS do it. : )

usually one piece cranks (part of the gear) take 1/2 inch; cranks that bolt to the bike are usually 9/16 inch; if the pedals on the bike are not marked you can always call the bike maker's 800 number and ask (which is what I did on one of my bikes) and if you give them the model they can tell you. These will fit just about any bike, road, mountain, comfort, or commuter; they are just a little wider and longer than stock pedals. I have a comfort bike(1/2 pedals) and a commuter bike (9/16 pedals) that I have used these on for two years with no problems and they really grip the bottom of the shoes well.

A 113mm bottom bracket will potentially give you chain alignment issues. The suggested 110mm BB's are readily available and its suggested by the manufacturer to use that length.Thanks
