You know the sight: damaged crank arms. The left side and especially the right side of your crankset are a weak spot on a road or mountain bike. On every ride, your shoes brush past the crankset thousands of times. A few knocks can be enough to damage your crank. Such a shame for the look of it.
But luckily there's a fix: crankset protection!
Crankset protection skins
And no, we don't mean simple stickers or a plain piece of film. We mean a custom-cut solution that's within anyone's reach.
What is it? A crankset protection skin!
After the success of the Wahoo skins (skins to customize your Wahoo bike computer) and the KICKR STICKRS (to customize your indoor trainer), we developed crankset skins too. Why? Because those always-damaged cranksets annoyed us. They spoil the look of the bike and mean a real drop in the crankset's resale value.
We thought there had to be a better way.
We spent months testing films, working out the different skins and perfecting them. It all started with Shimano cranksets.
Growing the idea
The starting point was protection for cranksets , but the idea has grown since. Why not make the crankset a nice black while you're at it (we often think that looks best on a bike)? Even better, add a print that matches your bike.
So the first idea, born from frustration, grew: your crankset gets protection and a personal look.
Going further
To complete the picture, we added the chainrings too, so the whole crankset can match your bike even better. And… your chainrings stay like new for longer , so they hold their value better.
Skins, what do you mean?
The custom-cut material is a vinyl/PPF film. It's very thin, so you add hardly any weight, but it's strong enough to protect. That's why we call it a skin.
For every type of crankset, in all the different sizes, we worked it out so you can easily apply the film yourself. You get the pre-cut skin with accessories and instructions, so you don't need to be handy to 'wrap' your crankset.
Excited already?
Our crankset skins are online now. You'll find them for Shimano 105, Ultegra, Dura-Ace and GRX.
