About Chainsets - Road

Road chainsets comprise of one, two or three chainrings and two crank arms, one on each side mounted at 180° to each other, they are connected to the bottom bracket axle and to the pedals. Bicycle cranks can vary in length to accommodate different sized riders. Major manufacturers typically offer crank lengths for adult riders from 165 mm to 180 mm long in 2.5 mm increments. It would seem evident that riders with shorter legs should use proportionally shorter cranks, while those with longer legs should use proportionally longer cranks. However, the exact length an individual cyclist feels most comfortable with may differ depending on the type of cycling they take part in. Bicycle riders typically prefer shorter cranks for fast cadence cycling such as criterium and track racing, while some riders typically prefer longer cranks for lower cadence cycling such as time trialling and mountain biking, where leverage is a priority.

About the Miche brand

Miche ... since 1919, a passion that grows. It's been "90 years" since Ferdinando Michelin, almost on a bet, began to produce bicycles and components with facilities including some with his concept design, proceeding with his son Italo - now president of the company - and arriving now-days in the directive hands of his nephew Luigi, with a wealth of knowledge and expertise that makes Miche, one of the leading global manufacturer companies of special components for Cycles (by road, by Track and Mountain Bike), designed and produced entirely in Italy.
100% Made in Italy, is for Miche, a choice motivated by a constant pursuit of absolute quality, from a story that has traveled all the roads of cycling, from the dusty ones, to those supertechnological and futuristic, constantly following a World in changing: the World of Cycling.
To build its products, Miche, employs the most innovative technologies, production processes and the finest materials: carbon, light alloys and composite materials.
The manufacturing of the entire range of Miche products, are performed within the factory of San Vendemmiano (Treviso - Italy) or directly controlled to have 'the hand' of what the brand MICHE will carry in the world and, while supported by robotic machines and numerical control the whole process has a decisive run by technicians who work with high professionalism, but above all with real passion for cycling, that passion that leads to refined insights concerning the evolution of each component.
To validate the "functionality" and the long lasting lifetime "endurance" of the constituents, constant testings are performed within the company (with repeated testing and laboratory analysis), and directly on the road by teams of professionals in national and international competitions, because any product with the Miche label, is a "90 years" absolute quality.

Review from Cycling Plus

Off-the-peg fixed-wheel bikes usually come with fairly decent but unexciting square-taper chainsets. This Miche Pista (Track) chainset is a step higher up the ladder - and it certainly looks the part.

It's square taper too, so is an easy upgrade. Miche make a matching Primato bottom bracket (£13.99) and it will fit any other 107mm-width ISO square-taper bottom bracket.

The anodised aluminium chainring is nice and chunky, in part because it's 1/8in wide, and our sub-11 stone testers couldn't detect any flex in the forged aluminium cranks.

The five-arm spider has a bolt circle diameter of 144mm and the Pista's off-the-shelf options are: 165mm cranks with a 48-tooth chainring, 170mm/49T, 172.5mm/50T or 175mm/51T.

There's logic in having a bigger chainring with longer cranks, since the longer arm gives more leverage and makes the gear feel about the same. Plus, bigger riders are usually more powerful and are more likely to want a bigger gear.

We picked the 165mm/48T option since it still yielded a big enough gear and the shorter crank arms are more 'spinnable' when you're pedalling propellor-legs fast.

Aftermarket Primato rings sized 46-53T are available for about £36 each. The whole chainset weighs 613g.

In conclusion...

Good value and good looking upgrade for your fixie

Rating: 4/5
