Frequently Asked Questions
Which cranks does this bolt fit?
This bolt is made specifically for FSA alloy NBD cranksets with a 19mm spindle and a no-pinch-bolt interface. It replicates OEM fit and function and is not compatible with pinch-bolt cranks or other spindle diameters.
What is the QR-18 self-extracting feature?
The QR-18 self-extracting design incorporates an extraction collar so the bolt doubles as its own crank puller. This makes removal faster and reduces the need for a separate crank puller tool, helping protect the crank's preload parts during service.
Is threadlocker required during installation?
FSA recommends following the crankset's installation instructions. In many cases, a small drop of medium-strength threadlocker is used for bolts subject to repeated loading, but always follow FSA's torque and assembly guidance for your specific crankmodel.
Does this bolt include washers or spacers?
This listing is for the alloy bolt assembly itself. Any washers, spacers, or dust caps required by your crankset are sold separately or remain part of your original crank hardware. Check your crank manual to confirm included parts.
Can I use this on other brands' cranksets?
Because spindle diameters and interface geometries can vary, we only recommend this bolt for FSA 19mm NBD cranks. Using it on non-FSA or mismatched systems can cause improper preload and potential damage.
How often should I replace crank bolts?
Bolts should be inspected regularly for corrosion, thread wear or deformation. Replace if you notice stripped threads, damaged heads, or if the self-extracting collar no longer functions smoothly. Routine inspection during major service intervals is recommended.
Buying Guide
When buying replacement crank bolts, prioritize exact OEM compatibility: spindle diameter, interface type (NBD vs. pinch-bolt), and crank manufacturer. Material and finish matter — aluminum alloy bolts offer a good strength-to-weight ratio and anodizing improves corrosion resistance, but always confirm thread condition and dimensions against your existing hardware. Consider a self-extracting variant like the QR-18 if you want faster maintenance and less tool clutter. Always follow the crankmaker's torque specs and installation steps to preserve bearing preload and crank longevity.
