BikeRadar video of the week: How to install Hollowtech II cranks
Every week we’re going to be bringing you a highlight from the footage on our BikeRadar media player. There’s everything on there from trade shows to workshop tutorials, plus some idiotic stunts sent in by our readers.
We’d like to get you involved too – send us your riding clips from the trail or the road. As long as you don’t add any backing music you/we don’t own the copyright to, we’ll get your video on the player. Send your video files here.
This
week, we’ve chosen one of the tutorial vids from our very useful Workshop
section. It guides you through installing Hollowtech II cranks.

what the hell. why, being a professional mechanic, are you not using a torque wrench to do those bolts up.
you may have a decent feel but many 'enthusiastic' home mechanics watching this won't have a feel for it and will end up writing off a crank.
shame on you, you should set the standard for others to follow.

who can't put a crank through the bb? How about you show us how to put in the cups? I have a 6 yr old cousin who can tighten an allen bolt without direction. Great show, skippy.
