Mr Fugal: I needed a replacement for my 22 year old Kona Yee-Ha hybrid crankset, and this fit the bill perfectly.

Brandon W. Becker: I was a little nervous not knowing for sure it would work. Ended up being a perfect match for my Giant mountain bike. Did take a little effort getting the old one off, used a rubber mallet to get it off. The the new one went on perfect and a little adjustment to the gears and I was up and peddling!

Gordon Steeves: Needed new crank set for catrike with lower gearing. And yes, this one came with a chain guard plastic.

Mark D: Delivered on time, easy installation. Not many trips on the bike since installing but seems to be working fine. Can’t comment on durability at this point.

Dann2729: Me agrada que se piedan desmontar los platos para futuras actualizaciones. Se nota la calidad comparado con las que trae de fábrica mi bicicleta low cost. El envio llego antes de lo indicado.

Andrew V.: I have not installed this yet, I am painting my frame and this will go on once thats done but looks wise, it looks ok, better than the cheaper cranks. It's nice to have the Shimano Logo on it, gives it a bit of class but as to function I could not comment. It looks good and for now, that's fine :)

Anthony HeimAnthony Heim: Bought this as a returned "used" item. Previous owner tried it on a existing BB. They found out they needed a 122.5mm spindle as witness marks on inner ring bolts show contact with something. Used this to replace a FC-CT90 Altus, Shimano still recalls. Bike shop wanted to screw me on the recall so I replaced myself. Shimano would of replaced the CT90 with a M131 Tourney crank with riveted chain rings. For almost same price this Acera fell in my lap. Replaced the BB with a UN300 68x122.5mm, the CT90E FD with a M310 and swapped the steel 42T chain ring for a Corki 38T to match high gearing of the original 95' Mongoose Threshold 3X6. This crank is beefy and beautiful.
Update: 1/2/21. 95' Mongoose Threshold 3x6 chain line (130mm frame) was around 44mm. Shimano says 47.5/50mm chain line so I got a 123mm BB. Front chain line came out 50.8mm, rear still 44.5mm. Wanted closer to the 44mm chain line after I replaced FH to a 7 speed ( a 96' option). Found out Shimano recommended BB is to accommodate 135-142mm rear dropouts and thicker frame tubes. This crank works fine with the original 68 X 116mm CT90 BB. Chain line right at 47.8mm and within the FD-M310 range for proper...

Marshall David WahlstromHelgrenMarshall David WahlstromHelgren: The Acera FC-M361 crank is in the low end of components in the Shimano family of bike components, but it’s not the lowest end of Shimano components. That title belongs to Shimano Tourney components such as my (now former) FC-M131 Tourney crankset for example. While the highest end components in the MTB Shimano family is XTR. However, for the casual rider Acera and Alivio are still far better than Altus or Tourney. The original Shimano FC-M131 crank I had, was 170mm, was 48-38-28 chainrings (it required a 123mm or 122.5mm square taper spindle, which I paired this with the BB-UN55 68mm x 122.5mm) had aluminum arms with chrome plating with black riveted steel chainrings. Unfortunately, after riding with the FC-M131, the aluminum chrome finish had scratches the black on the chain rings started wearing away, which that didn’t bother me at first.
However, that’s something that is normal for these parts but is in my opinion super annoying and is a HUGE pet peeve of mine, but its merely cosmetic as birchwood casey bluing kit would probably take care of that problem, I always store my bike indoors and do not leave them outside or in the garage outside. Anyways, so eventually when...

Darwin: On a recent ride, I decided I needed to lower my gearing. As a large rider, I had some trouble getting up some hills.

I ride a Trek 7.3 FX, and the rear derailleur would handle a 34 tooth large cog in the rear, but I haven't been able to find an 8 speed cassette with 34 teeth. So, I decided to buy a smaller chain ring... and possibly replace them all so that they would shift well together

In looking around, I discovered I could buy this crank, and it would cost less than I could easily find the 3 rings for, and also decided to try a shorter crank to see if it helped my arthritic knees. As it turns out, this is the same model crank as on my bike (except I decided to use black instead of silver), so I could easily lower gearing and get shorter cranks at the same time.

Installation was easy in my case, as the bottom bracket was the right length, so I simply removed the old crank (requires a crank puller, that I already had) and a set of allen wrenches.

All I did was replace the crank, lower my front derailleur, shorten the chain by 4 links, adjust the derailleur and it worked perfectly. Lowering the derailleur was probably necessary for the shifting to...
