How to fit your MTB crankset?
Your new crankset has just been delivered? Here is everything you need to help you fit it to your MTB easily.
- Time: 10 min
- Level: Easy
- Tools: Allen key set | Grease
Steps
REMINDER: As Hollowtech II and GXP type MTB cranksets are the most common models, we present the installation of these versions below.
1. Grease the crankset axle to ease fitting and protect it from corrosion.
2. Slide the axle into the bottom bracket until it reaches the stop. In the case of a GXP, you may need to add washers before sliding in the axle — refer to the manual.
3. Fit the 2nd crank arm onto the crankset axle.
4. For a Hollowtech II type, adjust the play in the bottom bracket using the nut that fits onto the end of the axle, then tighten the two Allen bolts on the crank arm to the specified torque. For a GXP, tighten the bolt at the end of the axle to the specified torque.
Your crankset is now fitted. It is important to check the play and tightness after the first bike ride.
