Optimise Your Setup With BMX Crank Components

The crankset connects the pedals to the bike, enabling forward motion on your BMX. While it's possible to purchase a complete crankset, if you're looking to make minor adjustments or upgrades to your setup, consider buying individual components instead.

The crankset is composed of BMX crank arms, crank bolts, and a spindle. Crank arms, the levers to which your pedal attaches, significantly impact your riding experience and are available in various lengths. Additionally, keep some spare bolts handy for any unexpected repairs.

Understanding a BMX Spindle

A crucial element of your crankset is the spindle, the rotating axle where the cranks connect, located in the bottom bracket.

BMX spindles vary in size, available in 19 mm, 22 mm, and 24 mm. A 19 mm spindle is perfect for ramp, trail, and street riding. The 22 mm spindle is more robust than the 19 mm, making it ideal for higher drops and grinding. The popularity of the 24 mm diameter has increased recently, as it can handle any activity you undertake with your BMX.

It's important to ensure that your chosen spindle size is compatible with the rest of your crankset.
