FAQs
Is this crankset compatible with GXP frames?
No, this specific version is designed only for BB30 frames.
Can I use different chainrings with this crank?
It is highly recommended to use X-GlideR chainrings for optimal performance and shifting reliability.
What is the primary benefit of the hidden bolt pattern?
It allows for a more efficient use of carbon fiber, increasing the strength-to-weight ratio of the spider.
Do I need special tools to install this?
Yes, you will need a torque wrench and a BB30 bearing press/removal tool for bottom bracket maintenance.
How often should I check the crank bolt torque?
Check the bolt torque after the first ride, and every 500-1000 miles thereafter, or if you notice any play in the crankset.
Troubleshooting
Creaking noise during pedaling
Remove the crank, clean the spindle and bearings, apply fresh waterproof grease, and reinstall to the correct torque.
Poor shifting performance
Ensure the front derailleur is properly indexed and the chainrings are not damaged or bent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This crankset is exclusively designed for frames with a BB30 bottom bracket shell. Installation should be performed by a professional mechanic using a torque wrench to ensure the crank bolt is tightened to manufacturer specifications, typically 48-52 Nm. To maintain the carbon finish, avoid using harsh degreasers on the crank arms. Regularly inspect the chainring bolts and the main crank bolt to ensure they remain snug. Clean the chainrings with a mild soap and water solution to prevent grit buildup that can accelerate tooth wear.
