Product News: Cane Creek Cycling Components is a manufacturer of premium bicycle products headquartered in Fletcher, NC. The company was founded in 1974 as the North American headquarters of the Japanese brake manufacturer Dia-Compe. In the early 1990's the company was renamed Cane Creek Cycling Components and was subsequently acquired by its employees. Over the years, Cane Creek has introduced several products - including the original AheadSet Threadless Headset and the revolutionary Double Barrel dampener. Now the manufacturer is introducing its new Cane Creek eeWings All-Road and the Cane Creek eeWings MTB crank with Stages Power Meter.
Cane Creek eeWing All Road
Cane Creek Cycling Components presents the new Cane Creek eeWings All-Road - a new version of their titanium eeWings crankset designed for road, gravel and cyclocross bottom bracket standards. Cane Creek has also announced that their eeWings MTB cranks can be equipped with an optional power meter from Stages Cycling from the end of the year. Like its mountain bike oriented sibling, the eeWings All-Road crankset is made entirely of high quality titanium and is designed for ultimate stiffness and durability at less than 400 grams - in the same weight range as premium carbon cranks, but 20% to 30% stiffer and significantly more durable . The Cane Creek eeWings All-Road carries the same 10-year warranty as the Cane Creek eeWings MTB.
In addition to the existing 10-year warranty, Cane Creek has announced that it is giving every rider who purchases an eeWings MTB or All-Road crankset a 30-day 100 percent satisfaction guarantee. Regardless, if a rider is not 100 percent satisfied with the cranks, the cranks can be returned to the original place of purchase within 30 days for a full refund.
The Cane Creek eeWings All-Road is compatible with Direct-Mount X-SYNC chainrings and is available with crank lengths of 170 mm, 172,5 mm and 175 mm. The cranks have a 30mm titanium spindle and are compatible with BSA68mm, PF86.5 and 386EVO bottom brackets as well as PF30 and BB30 bottom bracket with outer bracket configurations. The Cane Creek eeWings All-Road also features an innovative CNC-machined aluminum preloader that is compatible with many other high-end 30mm cranks - a more durable solution compared to preloaders from other manufacturers, which are often made of plastic or other less durable materials. Like the eeWings MTB, the eeWings All-Road comes in a subdued, brushed titanium finish with a minimalistic laser-blasted graphic on the crank surface. In addition to the titanium's aesthetic focus, this simple design allows the rider to use Scotch-Brite or a similar abrasive to remove small scratches and stains that accumulate over time and use.
The Cane Creek eeWings All-Road is available for €847,99 and the Cane Creek eeWings MTB, equipped with a Stages power meter, for €1.271,99. Both options are available through Cane Creek distributors and retailers or directly from the company's website at www.canecreek.com .
