eeWings are about to get a little bit, OK, a lot wider. In spite of their hefty price tag, Cane Creek’s eeWings titanium cranksets have become a popular upgrade for a number of bikes. However, for those preferring much fatter wheels and tires, the cranksets have been out of reach. But thanks to a new partnership with LaMere Cycles, fat bikers will now have a titanium option when it comes to wide Q-factor cranks.
With the exception of the spindle length and Q-factor, the cranks have a similar build with butted 3/2.5 titanium arms and a 6/4 titanium spindle. The cranks join together at the center of the spindle with a hirth joint, and there are a few different bottom bracket fitments that accommodate the 30mm diameter spindle. In terms of Q-factor, the cranks are on the narrower side for true fat bike cranks at 216mm. That’s narrower than the widest cranks which push up to 230mm Q-factors, but still a good bit wider than the 183mm Q-factor found on bikes like the Otso Voytek.
According to Cane Creek, the cranksets will be available exclusively through LaMere Cycles as an option on their complete builds, or as an aftermarket item sold directly to consumers for $1,049 without a bottom bracket. The cranks are available for pre-order now, with delivery expected by November.
