Does this work as a double crankset?

https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...ebab69736e.jpg Wondering if the crankset that came on my nature boy can be used as a donor crankset for a 9 speed bike I'm building. It has a space for chainrings on both sides of the spider but I'm not sure. Thanks for any info on the subject. |
Looks like it should work to me.
What does your spares box look like? I generally just bolt up whatever I've got handy and see if I can get it to work. Most times I've been successful. |
Yup, it is a double chainring crankarm, they just put the inner ring in place of the outer one..

The FSA Vero is a double crank. My first road bike had that crank and it was a 50/34. You seem to be missing the 50 chainring

Awesome. Thanks a lot. I really like these cranks. 175 is a little long for me on a single speed but having gears to control my cadence will be nice.

Just about any crank can be used as a double crank, regardless of whether the spider has the inner plateau. The issue is inner chainring clearance with the frame, which is a function on the bottom bracket spindle, not the crank. E.g. look at TA Pro-5 and other 5-pin cranks, where the inner ring(s) do not rest on a plateau of any kind.
