I've got a praxis crank and bb on my pinnacle arkose 3. I've just bought a 105 power meter, so need to replace the crank (assuming praxis crank interface is incompatible with shimanos).
I vaugely recall reading i needed a special tool to remove the crank and bb. Is this the case?
Is there a way of bodging it?
Does the praxis crank and bb have any value? They're in reasonable nick, but i'm assuming they're like a sh*t version of 105 and only specced to meet a price point.
My specialized tarmac came with Praxis crank / BB. I believe you do need a tool (about £30 I think). So a specialized dealer should have the tool if you want them to just remove it.
I’ve got a spare praxis BB tool here. I’m in Edinburgh if you want to pick it up or I can post it to you if you DM me your address.
I removed some Praxis cranks as I wanted to change crank lengths. They seemed really nice, certainly nicer (lighter anyway) than the Tiagra cranks I replaced them with. From recollection I think they're a similar weight to 105.
But yes, special tool required, think they give you two in a pack for £30 weirdly.
I have praxis alba on my Diverge, cranks come off with an allan key dont they? Special tool needed for BB, I got it from wiggle I think, it just has a different from others, bit annoying really.
Cheers all - wbm1874 - that's a very kind offer. I will probably take you up on it, but I've just spotted there is a 3d printable praxis bb tool, so i will try and print that and see if it works...
