Description

Deep in the hills of Santa Cruz, cyclists are met by a nasty, four-mile, 1800 ft. climb named Alba Road. This respected ascent was the inspiration for the Alba road chainset. What's most impressive about this model is it also features top-level carbon crankarms from the Zayante series, so you can get the best of both worlds. This combination of the Alba M24 alloy spindle, new LevaTime II X-Spider and chainrings plus Zayante carbon crankarms provides the ultimate marriage of lightness, stiffness and versatility. Carbon Zayante Crankarms Made exclusively in the brand's own carbon lab, the Zayante is a homegrown product from start to finish. From initial napkin sketches to rapid prototyping, revision after revision, exhaustive testing and certification for production. Developed and made in-house with its own hybrid "RTM+Filimant Winding" manufacturing methods all done by Praxis Works' dedicated team. With its elegant and shapely carbon arms the Zayante is in a class of its own. This past year Praxis Works went further and updated it with its new LevaTime II X-Spider and X-rings. Now weighing in at a feathery 620 grams the Zayante Carbon has improved on its already solid reputation as the go-to crank carbon crank for riders globally. LevaTime X-Spider and Chainring This all-new LevaTime (LT2) X-Spider is even stiffer than the original generation X-Spider. With a new forging design to support the new LT2 5mm plate big rings, this 3-bolt direct mount keeps things flex-free when it’s time for that critical shift. Full modularity was the goal with the X-Spider and rings. With this one spider riders can change X-Ring sets without having to change cranks. The LT2 X-Rings are forged from 7075-T6 aluminium and hard anodized to take a beating. M24 BSA English Threaded Bottom Bracket This chainset comes complete with a Praxis Works BSA Threaded M24/GxP bottom bracket for installing an M24/GxP spindle crank into a BSA threaded frame: 68mm Road.
