If you take take Euro-style cyclocross to the maximum level of seriousness, then there's no other way to go than to run Campagnolo components on your racing steed. That''s why Campy introduced the CX crank, designed especially for the crazy mud-loving type. This crankset features chainrings optimized for cyclocross with an antifriction treatment as well as 8 pins on the large chainring, along with double sealed bearings to keep things clean and running smoothly even if the course isn''t doing either of those things. Plus with a lightweight and stiff carbon spider, those grinder sections will feel easier as the power is efficiently transferred from your mud-covered legs directly into propelling you towards the finish line.
