Here's what you've all been waiting for!

The new Retrogression x Andel Deluxe TC is tracklocross-ready crankset featuring 6061-T6 arms, stiff integrated 24mm hollow cromo steel axle, sturdy 43t x 1/8" 144mm bcd chainring and includes a sealed cartridge bearing outboard bearing Hollowtech II-type bottom bracket.

Available in 165mm or 170mm lengths with a slick all black finish.

 

ⓘ Unlike a GXP track crankset (like Sram Omnium), Andel Deluxe cranksets can easily be adjusted from side-to-side using bottom bracket spacers to dial in chainline and overcome clearance issues.

Installation instructions

Hollowtech II-style cranksets are very easy to install, following this procedure:

1. Apply grease to the bottom bracket threads and the frame's bottom bracket shell threads, and install the bearing cups to 5-50 Nm {305 - 435 in. lbs}
2. Apply a thin coat of grease to the crank axle, and slide it through both bearing cups. You may need to gently tap the center of the drive-side crank with a rubber mallet to seat it fully. 
3. Apply grease to the splined crank arm interface and pressure bolt threads, and install the left arm using the pressure bolt. Tighten the pressure bolt only enough to remove side-to-side play in the crankset. Overtightening will cause the left side bearing (or both bearings) to bind, preventing the crank from spinning freely. If you need to increase drive-side crank arm or chainring clearance, disassemble and reinstall using the appropriate spacer(s) between the drive side cup and BB shell.
4. Tighten the two pinch bolts,back and forth, until 12-15 Nm { 88 to 132 inch-lbs.} is reached.

 

ⓘ Please note, you will want to re-check the torque of the pinch bolts after riding a few times to ensure they remain secure.
