Newish ZEROING crankset - Ingrid clone
Tijoe:
These crank arms probably require a crank arm extraction tool. They used to be more common before many manufacturers stated installing self extracting arms. ( A top cap where the threaded bolt pulls the arm off as you turn the bolt.)

I can't make out a thread for that to grab on in the picture (but it's too blurry). Even so, it seems kind of weird to put one self-extracting arm and one that requires an extractor from when f***ing-pos-I-hope-it-dies-in-a-fire-good-riddance square tapers still were a thing into one and the same crank set ... in 2023 no less.
It's a questionable design choice, is what I'm getting at, I guess.

Bumping this one too, as I'm considering buying this setup. Looks like there are multiple from Zeroing, Cruzbike, and other labels. I didn't consider a lack of self extracting bolt....hmmmm

24mm spindle is not a good idea. There is a reason shimano keeps it steel

I have 24mm 7075 alloy axle spindles on all my bikes. I haven't had any issues...yet. The weight savings are very noticeable. All I do is hill climb and go out of saddle quite often. Though I weigh between 68-70kg. I figure at my size, I can get away with a lot of weight weenie hacks that thicc cyclists wouldn't be able to pull off.
