Crankset parts

Enhance Your Bike with BMX Crank Components

The crankset is integral to your BMX, enabling you to propel the bike forward by linking the pedals to it. Although purchasing a complete crankset is an option, those looking to make minor modifications or upgrades might prefer acquiring individual components.

A crankset is composed of the BMX crank arms, crank bolts, and a spindle. Crank arms, which are the connecting levers for your pedals, significantly impact your cycling experience and are available in various lengths. Also, don’t overlook the importance of your bolts. Having extras on hand is always wise for any urgent repairs that may arise.

Explaining the Spindle on BMX

The spindle stands as a crucial element of your crankset. Situated within the bottom bracket, the spindle serves as the rotating axle for attaching the cranks.

BMX spindles come in different sizes: 19 mm, 22 mm, and 24 mm. A 19 mm spindle is suitable for ramps, trails, and street riding. The 22 mm option provides more strength than the 19 mm, making it better for higher drops and grinding. Increasing in popularity, the 24 mm spindle can handle whatever challenges you present with your BMX.

Ensure whichever spindle size you opt for is compatible with the remainder of your crankset.
