Crankset parts

Optimise Your Ride with BMX Crank Components

The crankset, connecting the pedals to the bicycle, is crucial for propelling your BMX forward. Although it's possible to purchase an entire crankset, for minor adjustments or upgrades, investing in separate parts might be a wiser choice.

A crankset comprises BMX crank arms, crank bolts, and a spindle. Crank arms—levers that your pedals attach to—significantly influence your riding and are available in various lengths. Don't ignore your bolts either. It's prudent to keep spares for any urgent repairs.

Understanding the BMX Spindle

An essential part of your crankset is the spindle, the rotating axle where the cranks affix, located in the bottom bracket.

BMX spindles differ in size, offered in 19 mm, 22 mm, and 24 mm. A 19 mm diameter spindle suits ramp, trail, and street riding. The 22 mm spindle is sturdier than the 19 mm, suitable for higher drops and grinding. The 24 mm diameter has gained popularity lately and can endure any BMX challenge.

Ensure the spindle size you choose aligns with the rest of your crankset.
