Title: Truvativ cranks
Post by: Steve Shindig on February 22, 2008, 09:02 AM

Hi, Any advice as to how to remove Truvativ cranks from a bike would be handy...  I took an arm off thinking the spindle would slide or tap out but no luck.  I'z confused.
Cheers.

they run on an ISIS BB don't they?  i think you may need a crank puller??

I sorted it... well weird...  I had to take both arms off, then unscrew the whole BB unit in one piece from one side...  Crazy.

I don't know if the spindle comes out or not though

Thanks for tip Pickle.

No worries mate, those ISIS BB are pants!  not used one on a BMX but on my old MTB i went through about 5 before i chucked the cranks and BB and bought a good old Shimano XT!  still going strong  :daumenhoch:
