State Bicycle Essor Aerodash Track Crankset (48t) w/Bottom Bracket

Holy awesome!!! I recently purchased a Tenth Anniversary Specialized Langster for an indoor velodrome. Great, great bike...but the one I got came with a 41 tooth crank with some odd BCD on it. So I went with this Essor set, and it’s amazing. Install was super easy, and it functions fantastically. It seems very well made, and it looks simply stunning. Definitely would recommend this!!!

HONESTLY, JUST SAVE YOURSELF THE HASSLE AND BUY OMNIUMS. I went with these cause they were slightly cheaper and really liked the look of the solid spindle but that where my praise ends. I bought these planning to switch out the chainring and was surprised to find that the 5 nuts and bolts are the incorrect size and could not be removed by an allen wrench and Park Tools wrench CNW-2. Took it to my local shop and they were unsuccessful as well and recommended either returning it or drilling out the hardware and replacing it with some that fit correctly. Contacted State and was shuffled through three different customer service people before one appeared to actually read my emails and see what my issue was. Long story short, if I send it back and they determine that the issue came from the factory then they would replace it, which at the absolute fastest would be about two weeks w/o a crank and after being wrenched on by myself and a few mechanics I knew there was no way I could prove that the issue was like that out the box. So I went ahead and drilled out the screws, replaced them. Now the cranks work great but the initial lack of empathy from State and how they were quick to respond in a manner that was not helpful at all just left me feeling very unsatisfied with the company which is too bad cause I've only heard good things about them in the past. Keep it up with the fixed up mountains videos though. Oh, but they did offer a giftcard to their online store if in fact I did receive a lemon, for the inconvenience. SMH.

As a company this crankset has problems from the start: no torque specs other than on the bolt on the front. This as a product is not a true track crankset. It is a MTB style crank with a 144 BCD extension for a track chainring. Therefore, it has serious creaking problems after months of riding from all the contact points.

I got this crankset after being tortured by a creaking noisy crankset. I wanted something super stiff and strong. And something that came with a bottom bracket. I am pretty heavy footed when starting up, and wanted something that would withstand abuse. I have be riding with this crankset for that last month, 5-6 times a week, on a 20 mile round trip…and it has been perfect. Quiet and smooth…handles mashing up to speed and maintaining a good spin…I highly recommend this. I have it on my Brick Lane Bikes Lo Pro fixed gear. After installing, I had a local bike shop check it and tighten everything to spec. Is not the prettiest crankset but definitely a workhorse.
