Cafeend Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 On my Intense I have the Raceface Next r Cranks. I want to pull these to clean and lube and have the 8MM and 16MM tool but apparently need a crank puller? After reading and watching videos looks like I may need to get a Park CCP-44 tool to pull the drive side arm off. Can anyone verify this please?

Teamsloan Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) From RF: "For the large majority of Race Face cranks a special puller tool is not required. The mid-high end spectrum of Race Face cranks (Cinch, EXI, and older X-Type interfaces) use a self-extracting puller cap system that allows for the removal of the drive side crank with only an 8mm Hex key wrench. For some of the mid to lower end EXI cranks (Evolve, Aeffect, Chester, Ride, and Respond) a standard crank puller tool for Spindled cranks like the Park CCP-44 is required for crank removal." ...just in case you don't trust Seth. 😉 Edited July 16, 2019 by Teamsloan 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biga9999 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Cafeend, I had to tighten my drive side crank again after riding that last bit. 😞 2019 Stumpjumper Comp Raceface Affect cranks. Drive side crank is coming loose after 3 miles riding, give or take. I have torqued it down, no luck. Shop looked at it, threw some blue locktite on there and cranked it down, with the same result. Shop did not see any issues when they pulled it apart, but are supposed to be starting the Warranty process. We'll see what happens next I guess.

Cafeend Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 Hey.. I know you have a deal with that shop but my two worthless cents would be at least get a second opinion on that situation from another shop. I sure as heck wouldn't want to ride with the possibility of a crank arm coming off mid ride. It will not happen next to your Jeep and may cause you some sort of injury.Worth a try man Btw.. good seeing ya.. fun ride!Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biga9999 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Not a bad idea at all. Always a good ride with you man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree Magnet Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I have some Truvativ Ruktion cranks on a DJ bike that this keeps happening to as well. I can tighten the crap out of it AND use Lock-tite and it will get loose after riding for a bit. It wasn't a big problem because I always checked it before riding and didn't pedal much but now my son is starting to actually 'ride' it and I need to address the problem. I think that I'm going to just replace the stupid thing but I need some bullet proof cranks so it doesn't break when my "I'm not 14 anymore" self cases a jump.

biga9999 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I am hoping if they warranty the cranks the new ones will solve the problem. I can stop every 3 miles to crank them down, but that is annoying and not viable long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 The Aeffect cranks have a plastic spacer with a red line around it. It is orientation specific. Check to make sure that the spacer is installed correctly. The spacer has a flat side and a collared side the collared side goes towards the bottom bracket the flat side goes toward the crank arm.

biga9999 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 swapped a spacer, now I need to get out a ride to see if that helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
