FAQs
Does this crankset include a chainring?
No, the Hope EVO Crankset is typically sold as the crank arms and axle; you will need to purchase a compatible spider or direct mount chainring separately.
What is the spindle diameter?
The Hope EVO features a 30mm diameter axle.
Can I use this with a 24mm bottom bracket?
No, this crankset requires a bottom bracket specifically designed for 30mm spindles.
How do I remove the crank arms?
The system features a self-extracting design; simply use a hex key to unscrew the arm, and the integrated mechanism will pull the arm off the axle.
Is the finish prone to scuffing?
The crankset uses a durable anodized finish that is designed to resist wear from heel rub, though heavy use over time may show minor cosmetic marks.
Troubleshooting
Crankset has lateral play after installation
Verify that the correct number of spacers have been used on the bottom bracket spindle to account for the frame's specific shell width.
Creaking noise under heavy load
Remove, clean, and re-grease the spline interface and bottom bracket bearings, then ensure the crank bolts are properly torqued.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Hope EVO Crankset is straightforward due to the self-extracting arm interface. Ensure that your frame’s bottom bracket shell is compatible with a 30mm spindle diameter. When mounting chainrings, clean the spline interface thoroughly to ensure a secure fit without play. Maintenance is minimal; the anodized finish is highly resistant to standard trail debris, but it is recommended to clean the arms with mild soap and water periodically to remove grit that can lead to abrasive wear over time. Always check that the crank bolts are torqued to manufacturer specifications before every ride.
