Hi all, I borrowed a profile crank tool (for the new profile cranks) but it doesnt fit my cranks. The ones i have are profile racing and I bought them off here, but never got the tool with them for whatever reason.

Was wondering if I could borrow the tool offa someone so that I can sort out my chainline. Thanks y'all!

take off the bolt on the end, put a socket extension in the end, hit the extension with a hammer/mallet.

the tool is only for getting the cranks on, it can help get them off to a certain extent but in most cases its useless. and also the thread isnt very long on them so you will strip it or your spindle threads really easily. use my method and you will be trouble free.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
