FIT Bike Co 24mm Crank Tool

Product Overview

The FIT Bike Co 24mm Crank Tool is a one-piece crank installation and removal tool designed for 24mm spindle cranks. Unlike traditional two-piece tools that can separate and get lost, this single-piece bolt design stays together and fits more easily in tool bags or pockets. The tool functions as a large threaded bolt that threads into the crank spindle for both installing and removing cranks, though the removal process differs slightly from conventional two-piece tools.

Key Features

• One-piece design – Single unit construction prevents tool separation and loss, a common problem with traditional two-piece crank tools
• Compact and portable – Smaller profile and unified construction make it easier to carry in bags, backpacks, or pockets compared to bulkier multi-piece tools
• Dual function – Works for both crank installation and removal on compatible 24mm spindle systems
• Simplified storage – No loose parts to keep track of or reassemble when needed

Technical Specifications

• Compatibility: 24mm spindle cranks
• Design: One-piece threaded bolt
• Tool type: Installation and removal
• Application: Self-extracting crank systems

Compatibility and Ideal Use Cases

This tool is designed for 24mm spindle BMX cranks that use a threaded installation system, which is standard on most modern mid and Spanish bottom bracket setups. Best suited for riders who regularly maintain their own bikes, travel to sessions, or need a portable solution for trailside or park repairs. The removal process requires backing the tool out and tapping it approximately three times to extract the crank—this differs from traditional extractors but is not difficult once understood. Not compatible with 19mm, 22mm, or 48-spline crank systems. For best results, always apply grease to crank threads during installation to prevent seizing and ensure smooth removal. This tool works specifically with self-extracting crank bolts and will not function with cranks that require separate extractor tools.
