    I watched this video last summer (and all your videos...love them) and it was one of the reasons why I installed the IXF crankset to my GT avalanche build. But while riding in winter snow, slush and mud, one of the BB bearings seized so had to swap it out. Anyway my BB width is 68mm and when I initially istalled I didn't put any BB spacers like how you did. However, i recently learned that spacers are important and are needed when installing a BB. For 68mm width BB you require 1 spacers on nondrive side and 2 spacers on the drive side. If you have a 73mm BB then only 1 spacer is need on the drive side. This keeps a better chain line and leaves a little bit more space clearance between the crank arms and chain stays. Also I learned that if your BB gets seized, you can just replace the bearings instead of buying a new BB. The sealed bearings for IXF BB or any Shimano hollowtech BB is "6805 RS" (rubber sealed) and this measures out to 25mmx37mmx7mm which fits exactly in a Bottom bracket cup/shell. I purchased 10 sealed bearings for $20 Canada (cheaper for US). Way better then spending $30-50 for a new BB. You can even buy ones with ceramic bearings which cost more but are supposed to be better. Just some money saving since I know bike parts add up. Shimano, Sram and other companies say you can't take out the bearings which is not true. I fixed my IXF BB and it works like new and just as good as my Shimano hollowtech BB. Cheers Guys.

    Cheers brother, I appreciate the review and part numbers. I have learned after many bikes and cranksets the spacers are recommended but depending on the job, it does vary. But all in all it's a good rule of thumb 👍 Thanks for watching all of our stuff brother, and totally got to get me an extra BB now!!

    That’s almost exactly the same setup I just ordered. Only difference is the brand of chain ring. It’s a 34 tooth. Then I hope to turn it into a 1x10. Love you guys and your channel. Let’s hear it for the budget MTB riders. Not everyone has 3 grand to drop on a bike👍. But buying affordable then upgrading over time is the way to go. Love it!

    This was hilarious to watch! I too made a switch to the IXF crankset but I still go with a traditional round chainring. (I made pretty much all the same mistakes the first time I installed a hollow tech crankset.) It is important to check your pinch bolts on your crank arm after several rides, as it takes time to seat the splines and it loosens up.

    I bought this set as well. Installed it yesterday and this is what I got as experience: I am converting a 3x8 to 1x8. Bottom bracket of the bike is 73mm. Before I disassembled the previous square taper bracket I measured the chainline. It was 50mm to the largest cog in the front and 45,5mm to the middle ring. Everywhere I read they recommend to use one spacer on the drive side. When I do this and mount the chainring on the inside, I get 50mm chainline. Bike works as if you are always on the largest gear on the front and chain stays straight with gears 6-7-8 on the back. But if you switch to lower gears like 5-4-3-2-1, then the chain angle is too steep. So, I removed the 3mm spacer and re-mounted. Now my default chainline is 47mm, which is closer to the middle ring on the front. Chain angle is not so steep on the largest and smallest gears. I am going to install 1,5mm washers, so I get the default for this bike 45,5mm chainline. This way it will always be on the "middle" ring on the front and that's the best you can get for an older bike I think. What I am saying is spacers are not always required for this set. That's my two cents.

Then I installed one and it sounded funny so I removed it and whalla, its very smooth now and run it like that even with the 10 spd. So thanks for getting my back! You must of read th ecomments

Only comment I have about this product is that no two weights of any crank arm pairs are identical; I've purchased four. They range from 643 g (silver) to 696 g (gold).

    Purple for the crank! :) Recently had to remove a steel without spider cassette off an Aluminum light weight hub. After the normal chain whip, the rivets holding cassette together had to be drilled out (the cogs had sunk in at different depths. Then remove freewheel with cassette on, place upwards on two peices of wood, and hammer the top of the freehub with another peice of wood to remove cog. Turns out the plastic spacers were also melted a bit too. After a little gap was made, each cog had to be pried off with a flat head screwdriver.

    I used a tool for removing plastic caps in cars to remove a crank arm. You should put in a spacer on the drive side of your bottom bracket it just gives a small amount of clearance and it gives you a better chain line. On the chainring, I don't think it should matter just set it the way it feels comfortable.

    For sure brother and thanks for the comment! A clip tool huh? I got a budget tool video coming out Friday I hope you watch, some pretty cheap good stuff. Got some good buys from harbor freight speaking of cars tools. But I tried to add a spacer and it made a funny sound, right after i did the video as a matter of fact. Then took her out and very clicky sound from the back, i removed then very quiet. So I think i will leave it for now , but thanks for looking out :)brother

    I got this chainset in China (cheap here) because my heavy square taper oem chainset on a cheap bike gave up. The left crank arm was bent. It took two rides and about 25km to "straighten" it 😂 Approx 600km of road/commuting later, with nothing bigger than jumping off kerbs, the bearings in the bottom bracket are starting to make little clicking sounds. I'd say it was value for money compared to the cost of Shimano back home in the West. And I'd also not want to be leaving the ground off road unless I was the weight of an xc whippet.

    Before i have used for one year Chinese crankset named Goldix, for about 5k km it was fine and then arm broken. Now I have found many good reviews about IXF crank and decided to try, maybe it will be stronger. I made weight comparision to old Goldix broken crank when IXF crank arrived and IXF crank seems to be stronger, arm is a little thicker. One IXF crank weight about 250 grams and Goldix arm is 210 grams or something like that so i'm happy that IXF has more material so it might be stronger. I will see how IXF works with time. Here you can see video of Chinese Goldix crank broken, my weight is about 70 kg and it looks like it broken with fatigue, i noticed on second arm that wasn't broken yet a crack in the same place where another arm broken so it wasn't problem with one arm only and after some time second arm would be broken too, Goldix crank is just too weak. I hope IXF will be better --> kzread.info/dash/bejne/eIKG0KilhpXHl7Q.html

I’ve got an IXF crankset on my bike too & up until now I’ve had No problems . I placed a spacer on the drive side because the bottom bracket if it’s 73 mm it will need a spacer , I also put the chain ring on the INSIDE of the crank set that’s where it goes.I can say that I’m happy with it for commuting but I probably wouldn’t recommend it for doing any Gnarly jumps with it.

    Hey Wolftick. Been following your page for a long time now. Love seeing notifications for your videos. I was have been running the IXF ever since you posted this video. The bottom bracket occasionally loosens up on me after big jumps. I was wondering if you have had this issue and if so have you found a way to prevent it. Thanks!

    Well first of all thank you for watching when you get notified man, it really helps us out! Now I dont every have this problem, one thing I would do is take it apart and grease it well inside then licktite the threads?? I know you are supposed to add grease but that is what I would try? Especially if it was doing it constantly, either that or add grease to them so it would act as some kind of binder...

    Hey brother, now I have ridden both round and oval for a bit now and I can say the oval has way more of a torque feel. When you are climbing with a round and you feel that weird dead pedal spot...well with the oval or simply doesn't happen!! I love mine 👍👍

    This video was almost 2 years ago, do you have an update as to the wears and tears. Kinda wished you compared this to raceworks too. I'm looking to get one. And yeah the grease I was using one night I left the lid open, sort of like wide opening can. The next day I was using it, never even notice till I put it on turned from a brown color to greenish. Then my mom told me she saw the cat pee in it.

    I 3D printed a BB wrench for my IXF crankset installation. I already had the filament and figured, why spend 8 bucks for a tool I'll probably only use once? PLA+, worked like a charm. 6:15 I did the exact same thing, except my thumb was in the way and the edge of one of those holes on the inner side of the crank sliced me right open. =/

    I put an IXF on my 73mm Axum BB this week. The spline is about 8-10mm shorter than it should be. I was not able to use a spacer to put the chain ring where I wanted and the left side was 6mm short of letting the crank arm all the way in. I sent a message to see if I can get one with a longer spline, have not heard back yet. The crank is working, but I want the correct one.

I pout a hex key in the freezer for few minutes, I put warm water on frame, and undid a bolt, which Trek over tightened, probably Giant cus they manufacturer Trek frames and build them. that thing just would not move, it should have been 10nm, but it probably was past 30 closer to 40 or 50 I guess. probably manual work no machine or torque wrench was used, just crazy torque by hand.
