Carbon cranks with 24mm titanium axles: cave!
« on: April 04, 2026, 01:12:17 AM »
Just a heads up, but I‘ve had 2 of those now (Xcadey and Hudud) and both had the same issue. It seems that they‘re just a hair oversized and that caused me problems with any bottom bracket using an aluminium cup. Extremely tight fit, to say the least! And despite the fact that I don‘t like to use a hammer to drive in a crank, getting these cups off again can be a proper struggle.

Simple solution: use a BB with plastic cups (like the Shimano ones)!
