The Shimano FC-C6000 crank is suitable for the use with Nexus 8-speed internal gear hub systems as well as for Singlespeed bikes. Depending on requirements a 1/2 x 3/32" or 1/2 x 1/8" chain needs to be used. The arms of the chain box compatible crank are made of aluminium while the chainring with 33 or 38 teeth is made of steel. For the installation of the Nexus FC-C6000 crankset a square bottom bracket is required, the manufacturer recommends the BB-UN26-K JIS bottom bracket with 117.5 mm axle length (not included).
