Shimano's latest FC-RX600-11 crank offers a perfect blend of low weight and high efficiency for mixed-terrain cycling. Its gearing choices are tailored to the unique needs of gravel riding, featuring closer gear steps to help you keep an ideal pedaling rhythm. This 2x11-speed crank comes in two chainring combinations, 46-30T or 40T, and three crank arm lengths: 170mm, 172.5mm, and 175mm, giving you the flexibility to find the best fit for your riding style.
Using this crankset is straightforward. First, make sure it's properly installed on your bike. When you're out on mixed - terrain rides, especially on gravel, use the different gear options to your advantage. If you're going uphill, shift to a lower gear for easier pedaling. On flat or downhill sections, you can switch to a higher gear for more speed. As for maintenance, regularly clean the chainrings and crank arms with a mild soap and water solution. Check the bolts periodically to ensure they're tight. If you notice any unusual noises or difficulty in shifting gears, it's a good idea to have it checked by a professional bike mechanic.
