[Closed] Washer on cranks

Depends on the crank.

Aluminum??

The only washers I have are where they are captive washers on the pedals. I only have alloy cranks tho

Never done it, never had an issue, never owned carbon cranks.

Depends more on the pedal - if it has a circular flange after the thread, then washer not really needed. If there is no flange and has a sharp edge for the pedal spindle flat, then a pedal washer is recommended (otherwise sharp edge will gouge a chunk out of your crank when tightened).

If the crank comes with the washer, fit it. Why wouldn't you?

Straight in the bin every time.

Raceface say yes on their cranks.

If the cranks come with washers I fit them - why wouldn’t you? Think my Shimano slx didn’t come with them a few years back - but the alloy Raceface ones did - and all my Sram cranks did (alloy and carbon).

Always use them as said above why not they are cheap another to buy.

Always.

Yes on carbon, no on metal (but would still put them on if a set came with them).
