Description

Coming from legendary Japanese manufacturer Sugino, 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 chainring 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 of 45mm to work with lots of different frames (including the Wabi Classic and Thunder).

Note that this is the 1/8" version. There was a 3/32" version, but it is being phased out by Sugino.

Specs:

  • Chainring BCD: 130
  • Chainring Teeth: 48T
  • Drivetrain Speeds: Single Speed 1/8"
  • Spindle Interface Type: Square Taper JIS
  • Bottom bracket length: 103mm (not included)
  • Color: Polished crank arms with a blasted silver chainring.
  • Weight: ~565g
  • Chainline : 45mm 
Notes

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 1/8" 48T classic style chainring.
