Crank Defenders

TPU, or Thermoplastic Polyurethane, is a flexible and durable plastic known for its resistance to abrasion and impact. It is used in crank protectors to ensure they can withstand the rigors of cycling, providing a snug fit that protects your bike's crank arms from wear and tear.

Crank boots are protective covers that wrap around the crank arms, while crank sleeves are more tubular and slide over the crank arm. Both serve the same purpose of protection, but their designs may vary, allowing you to choose based on your preference for coverage and style.

Carbon cranks are crank arms made from carbon fiber, a lightweight yet strong material ideal for high-performance bicycles. They offer an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, making them perfect for competitive cycling. If you're looking to enhance your bike's performance, investing in carbon cranks can be a great choice.

Crank protectors are designed to fit tightly around the crank arms, minimizing the space where debris can enter. This tight fit helps prevent small particles or objects from getting caught between the protector and the crank arm, reducing the risk of damage and wear during your rides.

While crank protectors are designed to fit most standard crank arms, it's essential to check compatibility with your specific bike model. If you have carbon cranks or unique crank arm designs, ensure that the protectors you choose are suitable for your setup to maximize protection.

Installing crank protectors is typically straightforward and can be done with minimal tools. Most protectors come with clear instructions, and many feature an easy slip-on design. If you're comfortable with basic bike maintenance, you should have no trouble installing them to enhance your bike's protection.
