PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE – someone tell me about the fitting of their XX1 / X01 cranks and a PF30 BB (because no-one is answering the thread I started about it)
You know the pre-load adjuster, is it meant to be stuck on the crank axle or will it come off it you pull it?
I belted the bottom of the non-drive side crank into the ground and not much after that got a creak from the BB.
After the ride I noticed the crank was loose.
Following instructions and using correct torque, leaves some side to side play that I believe must be taken up by the preload adjuster.
Seems a heck of a lot of play to take up though and I’m surprised the pre-load adjuster looks so flimsy and is able to slide along the crank axle as opposed to say something like an XTR M970 where the pre-load thing works quite well.
When adjusted to take out the side to side play, the inner threaded part that sits on the crank axle is tight up against the crank arm and the outer that sits on it is tight up against the BB but the adjustment is right on the limit.
I’m not that convinced it’s right.
