Prowheel Direct Mount Road/Gravel Crankset 165-175mm 40-58T Narrow Wide

The reviewer installs a Pro Wheel crank (an AliExpress purchase costing roughly €65-70) as part of a groupset set that also included crank arms and a BB68 threaded bottom bracket. He notes the crank uses two bolts on the crank arm, similar to his Shimano Ultegra, and that the chainring has an arrow to align toward the crank arm. He chose a 175mm crank length, reasoning that at his height he needs a relatively long crank, though he mentions shorter cranks are becoming popular for better hip flexion and he may try one in the future. He installs the crank, sets the bearing preload ring carefully by feel (0.7-1.5 Nm spec, no suitable torque wrench), and tightens the crank arm bolts to the 12-14 Nm specification.

The reviewer mentions the Prowheel crankset only briefly as part of a cost breakdown of his AliExpress gravel bike build. He states it is a 40-tooth, 175mm crankset that came with a BB68 threaded bottom bracket, and that it cost 69.69 euros before duties and discounts, landing at 59.95 euros for the crankset and bottom bracket together. He gives no assessment of its performance, quality, or installation experience.

The reviewer briefly mentions the crank only as part of an overview of the AliExpress components for the gravel bike build, listing the crank arms alongside the cassette, chainring, and bottom bracket. No detailed assessment, installation, or performance commentary about the crank is provided in this transcript excerpt.
