Race FaceCrank Boot 2-Pack(Return to Product Page)

Use on Atlas cranks. Nice red color

Though these things are pricey for little plastic bits, the good news is that they should prove pretty durable, unlike the silicone ones that are cheap but usually split or wear out quickly. If you can catch a sale, it's not terribly painful. I was able to fit these on my SRAM carbon cranks with some slight modifications.

Love em, they fit perfectly and are not bulky. They protect well after bashing on rocks. Will put them on all my off road bikes.

My carbon cranks needed this item before I bashed it into rocks on a cyclocross bike.

I ride a lot of technical terrain with lots of big rocks and step ups. I'm always beating my cranks into the rocks. I got a new 29er a few months back and put a set of these on my Sram XO crank. They fit perfectly and no dings in my crank!

I really like this idea and have wanted a set since I saw the Specialized version a while back. I mostly ride a hardtail singlespeed, and I find that when I get on my squishy, geared bike after lots of hardtail riding, I bang the carbon cranks on rocks for a while until I finally get used to the squish again. I have never broken a crank that way, but the sound is disconcerting. So... When I came across these on the BTD website I didn't hesitate. They are nicely made and simple to install. But the boot will not work on the drive side of my size M Tallboy Carbon with XX 2x10. It spins okay when the bike is on the stand or ridden on flat ground, but on hard climbs the flex is enough that it rubs the swingarm. I weigh around 175 fully kitted. Too bad. I am going to try them on another frame.

I bought these to protect my new Shimano CX-70 cross crankset. The boot fits tight on the drive side but is slightly loose on the other side. I like that they keep my cranks from making direct contact with rocks and such as I often ride my cross bike on MTB trails. Why not? You're going to buy a bunch of stuff, for [$] or so, you may as well add them to your shopping cart. You won't regret the purchase.

for ten bucks these keep my cranks protected-especially with low bottom bracket heighths these days, I'm always banging my crank ends...These keep them from getting all chewed up...

I have tried many of these. These ones are harder and do a pretty good job. The soft rubber versions just shift and end up exposing the end of the crank.

Does it�s job.

Not all for cranks. Paddle will not freely spin on some of the cranks.
