Velo Orange Rando Crankset 175mm 46/30t 8-10spd Polished Stainless

Designed to honor the timeless appeal of classic BCD cranks while embracing modern engineering advancements, this crankset is a go-to choice for road touring enthusiasts and randonneurs worldwide. Forged from aerospace-grade aluminum into sleek 175mm arms with a classic BCD pattern (50.4mm), it combines heritage aesthetics with cutting-edge performance—ideal for riders tackling multi-day adventures or demanding terrain.

The CNC-machined chainrings feature strategic ramps and pins that reduce shifting friction and minimize chain slippage during steep climbs or technical descents—key advantages for riders navigating rugged trails or endurance events like brevets or tour rides. Engineered for versatility, this system seamlessly integrates with both traditional 130mm hubs and modern disc brake setups (135/142mm) on frames exceeding 415mm chainstays—a critical feature for pairing with contemporary road bikes without sacrificing clearance or stability.

A double-chainring setup (46/30T) paired with an industry-standard JIS square taper spindle (9/16″) ensures broad drivetrain compatibility across 8- to 10-speed systems—perfect for upgrading older bikes or building new rigs without costly component swaps. Stainless steel hardware enhances corrosion resistance in harsh conditions while maintaining precise torque retention over thousands of miles of use.

At just 540 grams and finished in polished silver, this crankset balances performance aesthetics without compromising on durability—ideal for riders prioritizing reliability over flashiness during long-distance tours or grueling cycling challenges like Paris-Brest-Paris events.
