KH Cranks

The UniSLAB · 2008-02-11T23:35:08+00:00

I'm going to be putting my new uni together tommorow 🙂 and I was wondering if you guys put any loctite on the crank arm bolts. I've never piece a uni together and I don't want to mess it up from the beggining so let me know if there is a specific torque setting I need to use or what.

I've never used loctite on any parts of my uni, including the crank
bolts and I'm fine.
Question: how are you gonna put KH cranks on a Koxx uni?

Maybe he is using a KH hub too.
Seeing as the crank will be wedged onto the splines, there really isn't
any need for loctite on the bolt - just tighten it using an allen key
with some kind of extension, to make it extra tight!

Just grease everything up, put some nice grease on the splines, bolts
and cranks then slip them on and do them up real tight. Also what seems
to work well is if you smack them with a rubber mallet then proceed to
tighten them again it seems to drift them on further. I have taken my
cranks off many times now and they come off and go on easy, grease is
good stuff 😄

Remember, if it's made of plasticine it's probably not very strong. On
the bright side, it's quite easily replaceable. And fits any interface,
ISIS or not.

Did you grease them up properly? I usually use anti-seize.
Also, are you sure your hub fits Moments cranks?

I've heard (but had no experience) of the nimbus hub being too tight on
one side and the cranks not going on all the way or, are you tightening
the bolt? The hub I beleve is tapered so tightening the bolt is the
only practical way to get cranks like that on.
