Machined from aluminum alloy with a frosted anodized finish and reinforced threading, the crank arms deliver a balance of light weight and durability. The package ships with a single 104BCD narrow-wide chainring (available in 32T, 34T, 36T, 38T, 40T, or 42T), chainring bolts, and a three-pronged removal\/installation wrench so you can change cranks without searching for extra tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this crankset improve chain retention and shifting simplicity?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included chainring uses an alternating narrow-wide tooth profile to reduce chain drops on rough terrain, keeping single-chainring setups more reliable.

Cyclon’s 170mm square taper crankset is aimed at riders who want a simple, robust single-chainring drivetrain — mountain bikers converting to a single-speed, commuters seeking a lower-maintenance setup, and anyone replacing worn square-taper cranks. It’s a practical, value-oriented option when you need a straightforward crank swap that restores reliability and improves chain retention without reworking the bike’s gearing system. Not suitable for bikes requiring multi-chainring front shifting or non-square-taper bottom bracket standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Will this crankset fit my square taper bottom bracket?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes — it’s designed for square taper spindles and standard 9\/16\" pedals; confirm your BB type before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I use this crankset with a 10-speed chain?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes — compatible with 8\/9\/10\/11-speed chains in single-ring setups, not for multi-chainring drivetrains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Cyclon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48022441754785,"sku":"B0BG393BC6","price":84.51,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/6532\/5729\/files\/cyclon-crankset-front-view.jpg?v=1791334795","url":"https:\/\/canadiansporting.ca\/products\/cyclon-single-speed-square-taper-crankset","provider":"Canadian Sporting","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
