INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE  
EXPERIENCED MECHANIC  
These instructions explain the steps to remove an existing crankset and  
install a new one. The correct installation of your crankset is critical to your  
safety, so this work should be performed only by an experienced mechanic. If  
you are not sure of your ability to correctly install this crankset and adjust the  
parts, have the crank installed by your Bontrager dealer.  
Check all parts' compatibility before installing  
The crankset interfaces with the pedals, bottom bracket, chain, and front  
derailleur with its shifter. Each of these parts must be compatible with the  
crankset for the systems of a bicycle to function correctly. If you are not sure if  
this crankset is compatible with your bicycle, consult your dealer.

Bottom bracket removal and installation  
A conventional crankset is comprised of a left crankarm, right crankarm, and  
bottom bracket. With the Bontrager Road crankset, the right crank arm and  
bottom bracket are inseparable.  
To remove a standard bottom bracket  
1. Loosen the crankarm bolt on the left crankarm and remove the left crankarm.  
2. Loosen the crankarm bolt on the right crankarm and remove the right  
crankarm.  
3. Using the proper tool, loosen and remove the left ("adjustable") bottom  
bracket cup.  
The left cup is right-hand threaded, and the right cup is left-hand (reverse) threaded.  
3. Using the proper tool, loosen and remove the right ("fixed") bottom bracket  
cup.  
To install a Giga-Pipe bottom bracket  
Make sure the frame's bottom bracket shell threads are clean and in good  
condition. If necessary, chase and face the threads.  
Grease all threaded surfaces, the bearing surfaces of the crank bolt, the  
interfaces between the bearings and axle, the axle splines, and also the bearing  
side of the seals.  
1. Install the right bottom bracket cup, and tighten to 300-360 lb•in (34-41Nm).  
2. Install the left bottom bracket cup, and tighten to 300-360 lb•in (34-41Nm).  
3. Pass the bottom bracket axle through the right cup to the left cup.  
4. Attach the left crankarm and tighten the crank bolt to 360-415 lb•in (41-47 Nm)  
5. Check the left crankarm for play.  
If there is play, remove both crankarms, grease the contact between the bottom  
bracket axle and the bearings, and reinstall. It may require installing the cranks  
several times to eliminate all play.
