The Shimano TY Front Chainwheel FC-TY301 (42X34X24T, 150mm, W/CG) represents the harmony of precision, accessibility, and everyday cycling resilience. This triple-ring crankset isn’t just a drivetrain component—it’s the heartbeat of your pedaling rhythm, engineered for those who demand practical performance without the complexity or cost of high-end race components.

At its core, the FC-TY301 features a 42/34/24-tooth chainring configuration, delivering a wide and forgiving gear range. This allows casual riders, commuters, and recreational cyclists to tackle mixed terrain with confidence. From steep urban flyovers to relaxed park rides, each chainring is proportioned for optimal efficiency and ease of pedaling. The 42T excels on flat stretches where speed is your goal, the 34T serves as your all-arounder, and the 24T comes alive on climbs—offering you an easy spin when fatigue kicks in.

The 150mm crank arm length is a key distinction. Shorter than typical adult cranksets, it is ideal for riders with smaller inseams, junior cyclists, and those seeking greater pedal clearance or faster cadence control. In terms of biomechanics, this shorter crank length reduces strain on the hips and knees while maintaining fluid pedal motion, promoting smoother, more sustainable riding—even over longer distances or during repeated city commutes.

Integrated with a protective chain guard (CG), the FC-TY301 stands out as a thoughtful component for urban and utility cycling. The guard keeps the chain enclosed, shielding it from your clothes while also preventing accidental chain drops. For commuters wearing trousers or riders navigating dusty trails, the chain guard becomes a vital comfort and maintenance feature. It also subtly adds an element of safety for less experienced riders and young cyclists.

Crafted from robust materials, the steel chainrings offer long-term durability, withstanding thousands of shifts and weather exposure. The crank arm, composed of sturdy alloy, resists flex and maintains consistent power transfer to your drivetrain. Together, these materials promise minimal maintenance, enduring reliability, and a smooth pedaling experience season after season.

Optimized for square-taper bottom brackets, the FC-TY301 is highly compatible with a range of Shimano and third-party drivetrains. Its installation is straightforward, making it a great option for DIY bike builders, service centers, and manufacturers building affordable performance bikes.

Whether you're upgrading an aging setup or specifying components for a utility bicycle, the Shimano FC-TY301 (42x34x24T, 150mm, W/CG) provides a well-balanced solution—uniting ergonomic design, versatile gearing, and enduring craftsmanship into one crankset that rides far beyond its price point.
