If you want to go faster, you need to focus on the
drivetrain and tires
Would it be worth upgrading to a bigger crankset
on a hybrid bike?
If you are limited to your current drivetrain setup
You might consider getting a bigger
chainring or crankset
to enhance your top speed
The bigger the chainring
The higher the gear that allows you to go faster
If you can maintain a high cadence
on a high gear on your old crankset
Upgrading to a bigger chainring like 52 or 53-tooth
is going to push it further
The Race Face crankset has 2 chainrings
53-tooth and 39-tooth
The crank bolt secures the crank to the crank spindle
and the cap goes after it to lock the bolt
The crankset has been sitting around for years
so i have to clean it up a little bit before putting it in the bottom bracket
