Fit 24mm Spindle Cranks

The new Fit cranks have been tested by most of the US and UK teams, so you know these cranks are legit! They're also available in a 165 and 170mm as well as 175mm versions. The spindle is a stronger and lighter hollow 24mm. They'll come with a special bottom bracket to fit the larger spindle. Standard sprocket bore is 15/16 (23.8mm) so any sprockets with a standard sprocket bore will slide right on the new 24mm spindle size without the need for any kind of spacer or extra machining. Available in black, chrome and white.
