Strummer DMCA-ULCH1 Crank
Direct Mount Carbon Crank – Modular, Lightweight, and Flexible
The Strummer DMCA-ULCH1 is a carbon crank arm with a Shimano Compatible Direct Mount system designed for riders who want a lightweight, modular crank that is easy to adjust to their bike setup needs.
This crank uses T700 Carbon material with a glossy marbling appearance. The glossy coating finish provides a clean look while helping to maintain the surface durability of the crank under normal use.
The main advantage of the DMCA-ULCH1 lies in the modular system concept. The crank arm, spindle, and chainring use a separate component system, allowing users to choose configurations according to their needs, whether for a single chainring, double chainring, or using a BCD 104 chainring with an additional adapter.
Key Advantages
- Material T700 Carbon
- Lightweight, ±263 grams for left and right crank arms
- System Shimano Compatible Direct Mount
- Modular concept: crank arm, spindle, and chainring are separate
- Can be used for single chainring or double chainring setups
- Can use a BCD 104 chainring with an additional adapter
- More flexible for upgrading the setup in the future
- More repairable because the main components can be replaced separately
- Glossy marbling finish
Modular & Repairable Concept
The Strummer DMCA-ULCH1 is designed with a modular concept, so users are not locked into a single crankset configuration.
With this system, users can choose a combination of crank arm, spindle, and chainring according to their needs. If currently using a single chainring, users still have the option to change the setup to a double chainring later, as long as they use the appropriate chainring and components.
The separate component system also makes this crank easier to repair. If a specific component needs to be replaced, users do not have to replace the entire crankset.
