Description

Coming from legendary Japanese manufacturer Sugino, the RD2 is their entry-level track crankset with a 48t 3/32" chainring.

The RD2 Messenger is a good mid-level single speed/ fixed gear crankset that fits most frames, including conversions (with wider bottom bracket spindles).

Cold forged alloy arms and aluminum chain ring will work for most riders - especially those not needing or wanting to upgrade to the pricer track-specific 75. Given it is a converted road crankset, it also has a wider Q-factor to work with lots of different frames (including the Wabi Classic and Thunder).

Specs:

  • Chainring BCD: 130
  • Chainring Teeth: 48T
  • Drivetrain Speeds: Single Speed 1/8"
  • Spindle Interface Type: Square Taper JIS
  • Bottom bracket length: 103mm
  • Weight: ~565g
  • Chainline : 45mm 
Notes

This is a 3/32" chainring, but that means it also still works for a 1/8" chain too.

This crankset takes a JIS square taper 103mm bottom bracket, which is not included. However, you can add the Sugino BB3 (but don't use the incompatible Sugino 75 BB) or a Tange bottom bracket as options.

The RD2 and the RD2 Messenger differ by their chain ring. The Messenger has a 165mm crank arms and has a stiffer 1/8" 46T disc-type chainring (which also makes it more expensive) while the RD2 has a 165mm or 170m crankarm and the 3/32" 48T classic style chainring.
