How does LevaTime II technology improve shifting?

Do I need special tools to install this crankset?

Installation requires standard bicycle tools, including hex wrenches for crank bolts and potentially specialized tools for bottom bracket installation depending on the BB type. Torque wrenches are highly recommended.

Troubleshooting

Front derailleur not shifting smoothly or chain is rubbing.

Re-adjust the front derailleur limit screws and cable tension. Ensure the derailleur is properly aligned with the large chainring.

Crank creaks during pedaling.

Check that crank arm bolts and bottom bracket are correctly installed and torqued to specifications. Ensure bottom bracket cups are clean and properly seated.

Chain drops off the large chainring.

Adjust the high (outer) limit screw on the front derailleur to prevent over-shifting. Ensure the derailleur's outer cage is aligned correctly with the large ring.

Difficulty installing bottom bracket.

Verify you have the correct M30 bottom bracket model for your frame's shell width and type. Refer to Praxis Works' detailed installation guides for your specific BB model.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Bottom Bracket Installation: Ensure you have the correct Praxis M30 bottom bracket for your frame type (BSA, BB86, BB30, PF30, 386EVO, T47, BBRight, or OSBB). Install the bottom bracket according to Praxis Works' specific instructions.
  2. Crank Arm Installation: Install the crank arms onto the M30 spindle, ensuring proper torque settings are applied as per the manufacturer's guidelines.
  3. Chainring Installation: If chainrings were separate, attach them to the direct mount spider using the provided hardware and correct torque.
  4. Derailleur Adjustment: After installation, fine-tune your front derailleur for optimal shifting performance with the new crankset.

Compatibility:

  • Bottom Brackets: Requires a Praxis M30 bottom bracket. Available standards include BSA, BB86/90/92, BB30, PF30, 386EVO, T47, and BBRight. Also compatible with older Specialized OSBB road frames.
  • Chains: Compatible with 10, 11, and 12-speed chains from Shimano, KMC, or Campagnolo. Using recommended chain brands is advised for best performance.
  • Drivetrains: Works seamlessly with Shimano (Di2 & mechanical, 10/11/12-speed), SRAM (e-Tap & mechanical, 10/11-speed), and Campagnolo (EPS & mechanical, 10/11/12-speed).

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the crankset regularly with mild soap and water. Use a soft cloth to wipe dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners or high-pressure water jets.
  • Inspection: Periodically check crank bolts and chainring bolts for tightness. Inspect for any signs of wear or damage.
  • Lubrication: Keep your chain well-lubricated for optimal shifting performance and to reduce wear on the chainrings.
