Hi, Your welcome
Hope crank arms are really nice a little pricey. On my trek rail I went with the FSA 155mm crank arms only cost me $27.00. I think one of my better upgrades. Your videos are very helpful.👍

Excellent upgrade for my Rail 9.8 XT. I bent the stock E13 cranks. The Hope crankset is noticeably stiffer. Top quality kit. Worth the $$$

Great vid. This prompt me to purchase an orange Hope 155mm. 21 Levo Comp. Im tired of pedal strikes. Even with great techniques pedal strikes on my 165mm cranks was inevitable. "Hope"fully I will have less pedal strikes

There is nothing worse than pedal strikes, They can be dangerous and off putting.
Great video. *Question Please* What is the reversible torque wrench you used to torque up the AMAZING Hope cranks to 50NM please? Is it the Halfords Advanced Torque Wrench Model 100 488703. I see they have several different models. PS Love the new shop plus your videos are extremely helpful.
Nice one dave
Thanks for showing which end of the crank puller.

Hi, great vids👍🏼 I have just fitted these to my rail 7 the non drive seems fine but the drive side is not flush to the chainring, there is a 5mm or so gap. They went on fine and I've taken them back off to make sure the spline was clean. All looks ok apart from the gap. Any ideas?

Hmm I was thinking getting those pedals off again will be fun and I checked HOPE's website, according to their instructions the pedals should be tightened between 35 - 40 Nm not 50 like the crank.
