TA Vega Cranks | ||
Spécialités TA makes a wide Q factor crank, the Vega, suitable for mountain bikes and any touring bike built for wide tires, such as 559x2. It has a mat black anodized finish and takes any Carmina spider. The crank comes with TA Auto-Extractors and pedal washers. Made by TA in France. The crank shown here is on one of my bikes, and I hadn't installed the auto-extractors. The Vega crankset is ideal for older bikes than can have a narrower chainline, like the frame I built for myself in 1994, shown above and on this page. Since it uses a traditional square taper BB axle, you can adjust the chainline by choosing the ideal axle length to your needs. Use a longer axle for newer derailleurs and frames, and a narrower axle for older derailleurs and frames. |

Carmina/Vega spiders attach in the same way that Shimano XTR spiders attach, and require the same Shimano tool to tighten the lockring. When you order a crankset from me, I will of course install the spider, unless you ask that I not. While these are all pictured in black, most models are also available in a silver finish matching the cranks. On Vega cranks, I suspect most people will be using relatively small chainrings. We don't expect many people to be using 130mm spiders on the Vega. But they fit if want to use them. Early mountain bikes from the 1980s used 110 x 74 spiders. Modern bikes use either 94 or 104 spiders. |

TA cranksets are only sold à la carte. For a complete crankset you choose the crank arm length, then the spider, then the chainrings, and then the chainring bolts. If you purchase a complete Vega crankset, that's cranks, spider, with TA chainrings and chainring bolts, you'll receive a 10% discount on the total price of those items. See the TA Chainrings page for TA rings to fit the Carmina cranks. |
