Product Information
Full details
The Dyedbro Crank Protection set is designed for mountain bikers and cyclists who want to maintain the aesthetic appeal and structural integrity of their crank arms. By providing a robust barrier against scuffs, rock strikes, and footwear-induced wear, this product ensures your bike components stay in top condition longer. While these protectors offer excellent coverage, they are size-specific, meaning you must verify that your crank arms are 165mm to ensure a perfect, flush fit.

FAQs
Can I use these on 175mm cranks?
No, this specific product is sized for 165mm crank arms. You should purchase the version corresponding to your specific crank length.
Does this protect against deep rock gouges?
It provides a significant layer of protection, but extreme impacts may still penetrate the film. It is best suited for scuffs, scratches, and moderate wear.
Will the adhesive damage my crank finish?
No, the adhesive is designed for use on bicycle components and can be removed without damaging the paint or finish.
How do I remove the protectors?
Simply peel them off slowly. If there is slight residue, it can be cleaned away using a mild isopropyl alcohol or a dedicated adhesive remover.
Is the material waterproof?
Yes, the material is fully weather-resistant and designed to withstand mud, water, and trail grit.
Does it come with instructions?
The product is straightforward to apply, but standard practice involves cleaning the surface and ensuring a dry, oil-free environment for the best adhesion.
Troubleshooting
Air bubbles trapped during installation
Gently lift the edge near the bubble and smooth it out with a soft microfiber cloth toward the nearest perimeter.
Film edges peeling prematurely
Ensure the crank surface was fully degreased before application. If it continues to peel, apply gentle heat with a hair dryer to reactivate the adhesive.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the protectors, thoroughly clean the crank arm surfaces using a degreaser to remove all oils and dirt. Allow the surface to dry completely before applying the adhesive film. Carefully align the protector starting from one edge, smoothing it down with firm pressure to eliminate any air bubbles. For the best bond, avoid getting the crankset wet for at least 24 hours after application. Maintenance is minimal; simply wipe the protectors down with a soft, damp cloth during routine bike washes. If the film becomes heavily scratched after a season of aggressive riding, it can be peeled off without leaving adhesive residue.
