This crank wedge is an essential replacement part for the secure and
power-transmitting connection of the crank arm (pedal arm) with the crankshaft
(or bottom bracket) on many common mopeds and older bicycles.
Key features:
- Diameter: 9.0 mm.
-
Function: Serves as a wedge that is driven into a corresponding recess
(wedge slot) on the crank and shaft to ensure a form-fitting and
solid connection.
- Material: Usually made from high-strength steel to withstand the high shear and bending forces during pedaling.
-
Application: Indispensable for the assembly and repair of the bottom bracket,
especially in older models that do not yet use a square or
multi-tooth system.
