How To:

SRAM 30MM SPINDLES

Tools required: Alongside your usual bike tools required to remove your cranks, you’ll also need a bottle of thread lock (Loctite 638 or similar).

  1. Place the bike in a bike stand.
  2. Either remove the chain completely or remove it from the front chainring.
  3. Remove the entire crankset according to manufactures instructions. Loosen the bolt on the OEM crank ring with an appropriately sized tool.
  4. Turn the ring clockwise one full turn.
  5. Tighten the bolt.
  6. Pull on the crank ring to remove the entire assembly, including the spacer ring.
  7. Place the OEM crank ring to one side, this will not be reused.
  8. Clean the crank spindle thoroughly using Muc-Off Bio Degreaser.
  9. Unbox the ‘Muc-Off Crank Pre-Load Ring’.
  10. Slide the appropriate Muc-Off spacer ring onto the crank spindle.
  11. Check you have the correct size installed, it should be a tight fit, the spacer ring should not wobble.
  12. Remove the spacer ring and apply a small amount of thread lock to the area of the spindle where the spacer ring will be located.
  13. Slide the spacer ring back onto the spindle.
  14. Wipe away any excess thread lock - Avoid getting any onto the threads.
  15. Rotate the spacer half a turn to ensure good thread lock coverage
  16. Leave the thread lock to set for 24 hours.
  17. Screw the Pre-Load Ring onto the spacer until it’s finger tight.
  18. Reinstall the crankset onto the bike.
  19. Unscrew the Preload Ring following the directional arrows, until it touches the bottom bracket bearing. This does not need to be tight, just enough to stop the crankset from moving.
  20. Tighten the stainless bolt to 1Nm torque with a 2mm Hex Key.
  21. Give the cranks a spin to ensure everything is moving smoothly. If there is too much resistance, loosen the bolt and back off the Preload Ring slightly.
Periodically spray a protectant such as HCB-1, MO-94 or Bike Spray onto body to ensure there is zero corrosion.
