The Sword Black 1x crankset is designed for simplicity and exceptional value. With a single, chain-retaining ring mounted to the cranksetâÂÂs outer ring position, it pairs perfectly with the rest of the Sword 1x drivetrain. Sword Black cranks are suitable for use with a square taper bottom bracket axle (not included).  This crank uses the same chainring standards as the original Sword, but adds a new lower price point.
