Dismounting the cranks

AX-Lightness cranks are tted with an integrated ex-

tractor tool. For this reason the dismounting does not

require an additional special tool.

Approach a long Allen key and release the bolts an-

ticlockwise (a).

Once the bolt is loose, you can turn it a few rotations

without feeling hardly any resistance, before it comes

to a stop at the outer crank cap and the resistance

increases from this point on.

Continue turning by applying force. The crank will

then loosen from the shaft.

Dismount the bottom bracket by using the AX-

Lightness special tool, i.e. a plug tool with multi-tooth

prole

(b) engaging with the cups of the bearing car-

tridge. Release the left side by turning anticlockwise

to begin with. The drive side is, however, released

clockwise

(c)! If necessary, secure the tool against

shifting with a through going bolt including big

washer.

If you don’t have such a bolt with washer, we recom-

mend that you ask a helper to secure the tool during

dismounting.

Mounting the pedals and

adjusting the crank length

The rst mounting and adjustment of the pedals are

jobs best left to your AX-Lightness and engage deal-

er! If you want to try it by yourself, be sure to observe

the following chapters.

Also read the instructions of the pedal manufacturer.

Before mounting the pedals make sure the pedal

thread matches the crank. AX-Lightness and engage

crank systems are currently available with the stand-

ard thread 9/16“ x 20 TPI. If you are in doubt, ask your

AX-Lightness and engage dealer for advice.

With a pre-dened crank length on engage cranksets,

you can mount the pedals directly.

With AX-Lightness Morpheus cranksets the crank

length is adjusted with special inserts (d).

The inserts with a central thread have a crank length

of 172.5 mm. The thread inserts allowing an asym-

metrical position have a crank length of 170 mm with

the thread being positioned closer to the fastening

and a length of 175 mm with the thread being adjust-

ed towards the end of it.

Slide the thread component from the rear into the

crank arms (e) until you have reached the desired po-

sition. Mount the matching counter plate accurately

to the front (f).

Make sure you mount the inserts of both cranks in the

same position.
