VAN SUMMEREN & Q-RINGS Oval Rings
Poised to become the next “must-have” product in cycling, Q-Rings increase your efficiency by maximising use of the effective zones of the pedalling stroke and by reducing the intensity of the “dead spot” zones.
By maximising use of the legs´ strengths and compensating for its weaknesses, they offer easier climbing, faster acceleration and a smoother pedalling, with reduced joint and tendon loadings due to better muscle strain distribution. Their revolutionary shape and well defined orientation adjustment options (OCP Technology) ensure serious race day advantages, further underlined by their multiple UCI World Champion titles and the recent victory at Paris-Roubaix, the “Northern Hell“.

THOR & ROTOR 3D+ Crank
ROTOR Bike Components has developed a specific BB30 and BBright crankset based on its successful 3D crank.
100% compatible with any BB30 or Classic BSA threaded frame (using special ROTOR “BSA30” BB cups) on the market. 3D+ cranks have an improved version of our proprietary “Trinity Drilling System” technology. Due to the larger axle-crank contact area of a BB30 crank, all three holes can be drilled from the axle side of the crank arm, allowing for further optimization of wall thicknesses and saving weight.

ROTOR BSA 30 BB Bearings
Rotor’s BSA30 bottom bracket allows the installation of our 3D+ BB30 cranks into a standard, threaded bottom-bracket.
The BSA30 is available in black color with steel bearings or red with Enduro Grade5 Ceramic bearings. The steel option offers a light and elegant bottom bracket at a very competitive price while the ceramic bearing options are ideal for those looking to shed every possible gram while at the same time acquiring an incredibly smooth bottom bracket.
Both versions are available for road (BSA only) as well as MTB use. The ceramic versions come in at an incredible 86g, while the steels comes in at 96g (depending on size and the number of spacers needed, an extra 3 to 9 grams may be added).
