Frequently Asked Questions
Does this crankset include the bottom bracket?
No. The Descendant CoLab DH DUB is sold without a bottom bracket. You'll need a DUB-compatible BB (DUB73 or DUB83 depending on your frame shell) to match the 28.99mm spindle and your frame's shell width.
Which chainring sizes are available and what do they suit?
The DUB73 variant ships with a 32T Direct Mount X-SYNC™2 chainring (good for tighter DH tracks), while the DUB83 offers a 36T CNC X-SYNC™2 ring (better for higher top speed and longer tracks). Choose based on your terrain and pedaling preference.
Is this crankset compatible with SRAM drivetrains?
Yes. It is designed around SRAM's DUB standard and X-SYNC™2 chainrings and works seamlessly with SRAM 1x drivetrains. It also functions with most narrow-wide chainring setups that accept the Direct Mount interface.
What pedal thread and spindle diameter does it use?
Pedal threads are standard 9/16". The spindle diameter is 28.99mm (DUB), so you need a DUB-compatible bottom bracket and bearings for proper installation.
How durable is the camo finish for everyday riding?
The Troy Lee camo is applied to withstand trail use and normal abrasion, but like all painted surfaces it can chip from rock strikes or severe impacts. Regular cleaning and avoiding sharp impacts will keep the finish looking fresh longer.
What crank arm lengths are offered and how to choose?
Available lengths include 165mm (both DUB73 and DUB83) and 170mm (DUB83). Shorter arms suit riders who want faster cadence and improved corner clearance; longer arms give more leverage for big-power pedaling. Choose based on your height, riding style, and frame geometry.
Buying Guide
When choosing a downhill/enduro crankset, focus on spindle standard, crank length, chainline and material. Carbon arms offer excellent stiffness-to-weight but check durability ratings for hard-hit use; alloy cranks can be more forgiving in extreme impact scenarios. Match the spindle (DUB 28.99mm here) to a DUB bottom bracket that fits your frame shell. Decide on chainring size based on park vs. trail use: smaller 32T rings improve acceleration and manageability on steep, technical tracks; 36T rings suit high-speed tracks and longer transfers. Finally, confirm pedal thread, Boost compatibility and crank arm length to ensure the most comfortable and efficient setup for your bike and riding style.
