FAQs
What is the primary advantage of the Ultra-Torque system?
The Ultra-Torque system permanently conjoins the semi-axles to the crank arms, ensuring maximum power transfer directly to the drivetrain with minimal loss and improved ankle clearance.
Are these crank arms compatible with all bicycle frames?
These crank arms are designed for Campagnolo Ultra-Torque bottom brackets. Compatibility depends on your frame's bottom bracket shell and whether it can accommodate the Ultra-Torque standard.
How do I clean the exposed carbon fiber?
Use mild soap and water with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the carbon fiber finish.
What is the benefit of ceramic USB bearings?
Ceramic USB (Ultra Smooth Bearings) provide exceptional smoothness and reduce friction, contributing to efficient power transfer and a more fluid pedaling experience.
Can I use these crank arms with a 12-speed Campagnolo groupset?
These Super Record 13 crank arms are designed for 13-speed systems. While some mechanical compatibility might exist, optimal performance and intended gear range are achieved when used with a full 13-speed Campagnolo drivetrain.
What does the 165mm in the product title refer to?
The 165mm refers to the length of the crank arm, measured from the center of the bottom bracket spindle to the center of the pedal spindle.
Troubleshooting
Creaking or noise from crankset
Ensure crank bolts are torqued to specification. Check bottom bracket bearings for contamination or wear. Verify crank arm and semi-axle connection is secure.
Ankle contact with crank arm or chainstay
Verify that the crank arms are correctly installed with the Ultra-Torque system. Ensure the correct bottom bracket width and type are used for your frame.
Reduced power transfer or sluggish feel
Inspect ceramic USB bearings for damage or contamination. Ensure the Ultra-Torque system is properly preloaded and that there is no excessive friction in the drivetrain.
Difficulty shifting after installation
Confirm that the crankset is compatible with your specific Campagnolo 13-speed groupset. Check derailleur adjustment and cable tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation of the Campagnolo Super Record 13 crank arms requires specific tools and knowledge of Campagnolo's Ultra-Torque system. It is highly recommended to have these crank arms installed by a qualified bicycle mechanic to ensure proper function and safety. The crank arms permanently conjoin the semi-axles to the respective crankset arms as part of the Ultra-Torque system, which is integral to its performance.
Compatibility: These crank arms are designed specifically for Campagnolo's 13-speed drivetrains and are compatible with Campagnolo Ultra-Torque bottom brackets. Ensure your bicycle frame's bottom bracket shell is compatible with the Ultra-Torque standard or can accommodate the necessary adapters. Check chainline and Q-factor requirements against your frame and existing components.
Care: Clean the crank arms regularly with mild soap and water, using a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washing, which can damage the carbon fiber finish. Periodically check the crank bolts and self-extracting bolt for tightness. For the ceramic USB bearings, avoid excessive exposure to water and grit; routine maintenance as per Campagnolo's guidelines will ensure longevity and smooth performance.
