Aerozine X-ONE crankset


AEROZINE’S SINGLE-RING set-up is great for lightweight riders looking for a cost-effective upgrade.

The X-ONE uses the same arms as their X12SL but with a single-piece spider/chainring (32 or 34t) mounted on the SRAM style splines. The broad forged crank arms get scooped backs and faceted outside faces with a durable red or black finish (the lettering rubs off quickly though). Reversible pedal inserts let you choose 170 or 175mm effective crank lengths (or 172.5mm if you buy extra inserts).

Concerns about creaking or loosening proved unfounded. Peak power flex from the narrow armed ‘spider’ undermines the adequately stiff arms though, and impacts are best avoided. The narrow-wide teeth also grind at cassette extremes.

Chainring 32t
Weight 555g
Options 24mm only, 68-73mm only, 1x/2x/3x, red/black

PRICE 223$

Gusset Magnum stem

SO GOOD Gusset’s 50mm stem is nicely CNC machined from 7075 alloy and the faceplate and internal steerer clamp are available in a range of five anodised colours to complement the black body. The hidden steerer clamp keeps sharp edges to a minimum and removes stress from the body of the stem. Out on the bike, the stem proved flex free and bombproof.

Merida Big Seven 100

We've rolled up to our local woods, with a meandering blue trail, some natural wooded tracks and a bit of fire road chucked into the mix to see how the Big Seven 100 tackles trails that entry-level riders are likely to cut their teeth on.
