Rene Herse Triple Crank

$535.00

Rene Herse cranks are a modern classic. They are one of the lightest triple cranks, while offering a choice of chainrings from 52 to 24 teeth. Rene Herse cranks are designed for 5- to 9-speed systems, but they also can be used with modern 10-speed drivetrains if a Shimano Ultegra chain is used. Note that unlike our double cranks, the triple cranks are not compatible with STI and Ergopower triple derailleurs. (See this Journal post for details.)

Rene Herse crank bolts and pedal washers are included. Cranks are custom-assembled based on your order. Please allow 7-10 days until your order can ship.

The large choice of chainrings allows you to fine-tune your gearing to your riding style:

Outer Chainring (teeth)
52 50 48 46 44 42

Middle/Inner Rings (teeth)
44 42 38 36 34 33 32 30 28 26 24
