Rivendell Silver3 Double Crankset
The Rivendell Silver3 is a beautifully polished square taper crankset for riders who appreciate classic aesthetics, low gearing, and long-term reliability. Compared to the original Silver crank, the Silver3 has a slimmer, lighter design that's intended primarily for road, all-road, and light gravel riding. It retains the timeless look of polished aluminum while delivering modern performance with a wide range of gearing options.
Available in both 36/24 and 44/28 chainring combinations with an integrated chainguard, the Silver3 is ideal for riders who value simplicity, durability, and smooth shifting over chasing the latest drivetrain trends. The compact gearing pairs perfectly with friction shifting and wide-range cassettes, making it an excellent choice for Rivendell builds, randonneuring bikes, commuters, and everyday adventure bikes.
Unlike many modern cranksets that rely on proprietary spindle systems, the Silver3 uses a proven JIS square taper interface. The result is a crank that's easy to service, compatible with a wide variety of bottom brackets, and built to provide decades of dependable use.
