What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The title and model description claim 6/7/8-speed compatibility, but the details specify 8 speeds. The model description includes 48/38/28D, while the supplied size field only confirms 170 mm and does not identify the 48/38/28D figures as chainring tooth counts. Confirm the required speed range and chainring configuration before buying. The listing also labels the chainset material as “Alloy Steel” without clarifying the construction.

Customer feedback describes the chainset as a quality upgrade, with positive comments on functionality, fit and value. One customer reports using it with a 9-speed cassette and another notes compatibility with 6/7/8-speed chains, but those individual experiences do not establish fit for every setup. For buyers, confirming drivetrain compatibility matters because the listing itself varies between a 6/7/8-speed claim and an 8-speed detail.
Positive themes
- Customers report good quality, fit, functionality and value.
