What type of crank extractor would you need to install this crank set? Square Taper?

This crank set is for a square taper bottom bracket. I bought an Avenir Octalink Crank Puller from Amazon.

There are a variety of pullers, i recommend the Park Tool crank puller for square taper cranks.

Just a standard crank extractor tool. I got an XLC crank tool off Amazon for about $4, works with all square taper spindle cranks and bottom brackets.

Yes. I believe you're only supposed to use one of the spacers that come with the crankset, it takes 3 for a 68mm shell.

Yeah just count the number of teeth and make sure it's a square taper bottom bracket (it most likely will be).

Hey Gordon, I bought this as a replacement crankset for my Trek FX and haven't gotten around to taking the bike apart yet. All I can tell you is that it is for a square taper BB. Check this website. http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/cr1.htm

Yes you would. A tapered end would work good, As per the Size im not sure since all bikes may have different sizes seat posts, so that you wouldhave to see what your bike takes.

No, I think this crankset will be too short/not wide enough; made to fit a 68mm (shell width=width of bracket minus the spindle). You, have to find one that is 73mm. hope this helps.

If your bottom bracket cartridge has a standard square taper JIS spindle - then it most likely will work. However, there is the possibility that you might have to change the cartridge to a different length (possibly shorter, like a 68x110) in order to get the correct alignment between crankset and rear cassette.

Not sure about exercise bikes. Remove the bolt that holds the crank arm on. Look in the hole. Can you tell if where the bolt threads into, is it square AND you must have threads in the crank arm "hole" for the puller to thread into.

It's an external bearing bb and you need special wrench. Check this site out: http://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help/external-bearing-crank-systems-hollowtech-ii-megaexo-giga-x-pipe-x-type-campagnolo-ultra-torque#shimano

First of all -are you able to remove the crank arms using an appropriate tool? If yes, remove the arms and measure the length ... and the actual width of the bracket mount on the frame itself. If you don't have the tools, I suggest not doing this job yourself.

We bought the Shimano UN55 BB Square Taper Bottom Bracket 68X107mm to use with Origin8 Square Top Track/Single Speed Crankset - 170mm x 46T Square Taper White.

I also have them on a compact crankset and they work great! I believe they work with doubles and triples. Good luck!

Bottom Brackets (BB) are not universal.The brand of the bike has nothing to do with the components. This part is specifically designed for a square taper BB. I used it for a PowerSpline BB and it worked but it may not work on your bikes BB. Square taper is a common BB configuration for many mid to low-end bikes so if that is your bike the likelihood of it working is high. For a reference point, check out this link to see what a square taper looks like on a crankset; Shimano FC-M361 Acera Crankset (Black, 170-mm 42/32/22T 7/8 Speed)

Just search on Amazon for "trimmer line .080". Any of those spools of line with size .080" that are "Round" should work. Most of them are round, but there are a few that are "square". Just make sure in the description that it states the .080" line is round.

The bar end screws that came with the kit were too long to correctly work the rubber expander inside the handlebars. Easy fix, though- I just put an extra nut on the bolt between the kits extender and my tapered washer. You'll figure it out.

It's designed to replace all of your rings on the crank. Since you say middle ring, I'm assuming you're running triple. It's not designed to just replace the center gear. It is designed to switch your bike from a 3xX to a 1xX. I'm currently using my narrow wide with an XT crank, it required the spacer kit. Not sure if XTR is the same or not, but I'm assuming it will be the same.

It will work on any length spindle ---- spindle length (axle length of bottom bracket) determines the chainline. However you must have a square taper bb for this crankset to fit. If your bb is Shimano , Truevative, Suntour, etc, you should have no problem. If you have an off brand bb there could be a pitch (slant of the taper) issue though.
