Strummer DMCA-ULA1 Crank
Direct Mount Alloy Crank – Modular, Lightweight, and Flexible
The Strummer DMCA-ULA1 is an alloy crank with a Shimano Compatible Direct Mount system, designed for riders who want a lightweight, precise crank that is easy to customize for their setup needs.
This crank uses Aluminium Alloy material and a CNC machined process to produce a precise shape, light weight, and clean appearance. The anodized aluminium finish provides a clean look while also helping improve surface durability.
The main advantage of this crank is its modular system concept. The crank arm, spindle, and chainring are separate components, allowing users to choose a setup combination according to their needs, whether for a single chainring, double chainring, or a BCD 104 chainring with an additional adapter.

Modular & Repairable Concept
The Strummer DMCA-ULA1 is designed with a modular concept, so users are not locked into just one crankset configuration.
With this system, users can choose the crank length, spindle, and chainring according to their needs. If currently using a single chainring, users will still have the option to switch to a double chainring in the future without having to buy a new crankset.
The separate component system also makes this crank more repairable. If a specific component needs to be replaced, users do not have to replace the entire crankset.
