How can I figure out if the Square Taper Road Crank will fit my bike?
Generally speaking, if you have a BSA threaded bottom bracket shell and are replacing a SRAM or Shimano road or gravel crank, the Square Taper Road Crank will fit fine. Your frame’s manufacturer should have some basic guidelines on what type of crank you need, i.e., “Mountain”, Road”, or “Gravel”. If they say it will fit a Shimano or SRAM road or gravel crank, you’ll be fine. Refer to the “Chainlines” chart above to see what spindle length you’ll need to match your intended chainline.
What bottom bracket do I need to fit the Square Taper Road Crank?
Our Square Taper Bottom Bracket available on the Bottom Brackets page. But note they only fit BSA threaded 68mm and 73mm bottom bracket shells.
Can I use a different brand bottom bracket with the Square Taper Road Crank?
Yes, as long as is has a J.I.S. square taper spindle. Our cranks are not compatible with “ISO/Campy” bottom bracket spindles
Can I use a different brand of chainring with your crank?
No. No other brands of chainrings will fit.
Can I use the Square Taper Road Crank on my gravel bike?
Yes. The Square Taper Road Crank has a similar chainline to Shimano and SRAM road cranks as well as Shimano GRX and SRAM gravel cranks so most of the time the Square Taper Road Crank works great on road and gravel bikes. Just make sure you choose the correct spindle length on the bottom bracket to match your intended chainline. Refer to the “Chainlines” chart above.
How can I restore that shiny silver finish on my polished raw aluminum White Industries cranks?
Use “Mothers Mag and Aluminum Polish” with a microfiber rag. Start with heavy pressure and lighten up towards the end

Go to the Parts>Crank Parts page
Can I use a power meter with the Square Taper Road Cranks?
It’s certainly possible if you can find one that is compatible with our crank, but as of now we’re not aware of any that are compatible.
