Find Your Perfect Fit: Custom Crank Setup Made Easy

1. Choose Your Spindle Length

Your frame dictates the spindle you need. We offer three options to match most MTB frames:

Model Spindle Length Q-Factor
Standard 128 mm 168 mm
Wide 134 mm 174 mm
SuperBoost 137 mm 177 mm


2. Nail the Chainline

Want buttery-smooth shifting and max efficiency? You need the right chainring offset:

 Model of cranks standard wide superboost
Q-factor, mm 168 174 177
Chainrings 8-bolts Chainline, mm Chainline, mm Chainline, mm
Boost, offset 3mm 52 55 56.5
Super Boost, offset 0mm 55.0


Match this to your rear hub spacing (O.L.D.) to ensure the chain runs straight and smooth.

3. Check Compatibility

Stellar works with most modern MTB drivetrains and accessories, including popular power meter spiders. Just make sure all parts match up — and you’re golden.

Installation Tips

We know you like to DIY — just keep these tips in mind:

  • Crank bolts: 8 mm hex, 55 Nm (left-threaded on non-drive side!)

  • Preload ring bolt: 2.5 mm hex, 2 Nm

  • Pedal torque: 35–40 Nm

Use a torque wrench — your cranks will thank you.

Style Points: Pick Your Color

Why settle for boring black when you can ride with color? Stellar cranks come anodized in 8 stunning shades:

Black | Silver | Red | Purple | Blue | Green | Orange | Gold

Because performance can look good.

Why Shorter Crank Arms Are the New Normal

Longer cranks are out. Modern MTB geometry and riding styles favor shorter crank arms — for better clearance, more control, and fewer pedal strikes.

Stellar cranks are available down to 145 mm — so you can keep your flow even on tight, technical terrain.

Made in Europe. Ridden Everywhere.

Each Stellar crankset is proudly made in Poland using precision CNC milling and high-quality materials. ALUGEAR’s passion for performance and craftsmanship is in every detail — because we ride too.

If you’re building your dream bike, chasing podiums, or just want your ride to feel smoother and faster — the ALUGEAR Stellar crankset is ready for it all.
