Will this go on the inner or outer side of the crankset? Or will it go on either one? Thanks

I have it on the inner. It can go either way, but be weary of your chainline.

I read up on the install for mine and was told that in order to keep the right alignment it should be in the inside of the crankset. Different bikes may line up differently, the important thing is the chain line. Make sure you are as close to center as possible on the casset. You may have to use spacers for the bottom bracket but I either way I think it mounts to the inside of the crankset. I am running a MRP chain guide with mine and it would not fit had I installed it on the outside. Good luck!

I think it can go on either, but I've been seeing most of them go on the inner side of the crank arm.

Hi Matt, I do not understand your question. I bought this crankset for an electric bike project. The previous crankset was geared to low.

"bottom bracket must measure 123mm from one end of the spindle to the other end " AND the bottom bracket must have the correct offset, measure from the center of the bottom bracket to the end of spindle. Many bottom brackets are symetrical (same length on each side), some frames are not, resulting in one crank leg sticking out a little further on one side. Often this is not a problem.

Hi Carlos; all the answers are good but I particularlly like Skips answer. I might add, Shimano UN55 is a square taper bottom bracket and the crankset has to be square taper also. Good luck.

Might be tight on a Cannondale or old-school Klein but the real issue is how far away from the mounting surface the arm places the crankset. I found it too close to turn the cranks while tuning the derailleur.

It's designed to replace all of your rings on the crank. Since you say middle ring, I'm assuming you're running triple. It's not designed to just replace the center gear. It is designed to switch your bike from a 3xX to a 1xX. I'm currently using my narrow wide with an XT crank, it required the spacer kit. Not sure if XTR is the same or not, but I'm assuming it will be the same.

Kickstand mounts at the rear axle instead of just behind the crank. I like the fact that if you are working on the bike or want to move it without putting the kickstand up you can do so and the crank will not hit the kickstand as on bikes with the standard mounting position.

Bottom Brackets (BB) are not universal.The brand of the bike has nothing to do with the components. This part is specifically designed for a square taper BB. I used it for a PowerSpline BB and it worked but it may not work on your bikes BB. Square taper is a common BB configuration for many mid to low-end bikes so if that is your bike the likelihood of it working is high. For a reference point, check out this link to see what a square taper looks like on a crankset; Shimano FC-M361 Acera Crankset (Black, 170-mm 42/32/22T 7/8 Speed)

My touring bike has a Rohloff grip shifter on the right side. I used a stock set of Ergons and cut the one side to fit w/o problem.

Off hand I will say yes, assuming that your current crankset is of comparable value and the spindle is of the square, tapered type. I can be more helpful if you tell me what your current crankset is and from what bicycle.

The bottom bracket is the external bearing type, it will fit several bottom bracket widths. These cranks will come with a new bottom bracket.

Yes, you should get the left crank arm. I purchased this crankset and got the left arm. See: http://techdocs.shimano.com/media/techdocs/content/cycle/EV/bikecomponents/FC/EV-FC-M311-8-2759A_v1_m56577569830637964.pdf

It all depends on your crank, this is a single speed narrow-wide chainring, no front derailuer needed. The brand of bike does not matter, the crank arm spacing and bike drivetrain are what make it compatible.

It goes either way. The handles inside and outside are the same so you can switch them to make it work on left or right.

This crank set is for a square taper bottom bracket. I bought an Avenir Octalink Crank Puller from Amazon.

Hi Mary, I think you need one that is specified for a 3 piece crank. Search 3 piece bottom bracket which Amazon displays and you should find the correct one. Research you bike model referencing the crank as well. Hope this helps. Greg

I put my bike on the other way around. I put the bike with the front to the left on the inner mount. The down bracket secures around the angled lower part of the frame.
