Product Details

Overview & Technology

Truvativ 11.6900.002.020 crank arm bolts are the OEM fasteners specified for Howitzer cranksets (SRAM Model ID: FC-SPP-A0). Sold as a bag of two, these M12, capless bolts provide the precise fit and finish expected from factory replacement hardware so you get consistent alignment and secure clamping every ride. Designed for durability and repeatable service, the bolts use precision M12 threading and a capless head to minimize overhang and reduce the chance of pedal or frame interference. The capless form also lowers the profile at the crank-arm interface and helps shed mud and grime on rough, muddy mountain runs.

Key Features & Benefits

Built for real-world MTB use. These replacement bolts deliver the core features mechanics and riders need: accurate OEM fit, resilient construction for long service life, and a low-profile capless head that resists snagging. Installing factory-spec hardware restores the original clamping performance of your Howitzer crankset. • M12 precision threading: Ensures secure engagement and consistent preload. • Capless head design: Low-profile, reduced debris trap and cleaner looks. • OEM part: Truvativ manufacturer part #11.6900.002.020, SRAM model FC-SPP-A0 for guaranteed compatibility.

Fit, Compatibility & Installation

These bolts are made specifically for Truvativ Howitzer crank arms and other crank interfaces that accept M12 capless fasteners. Confirm compatibility by matching the manufacturer part number (11.6900.002.020) or SRAM Model ID (FC-SPP-A0) before purchasing. They are supplied as a pair to replace both left and right crank arm fasteners when required. For installation, use a properly sized socket or hex tool designed for capless M12 heads and a calibrated torque wrench. Always follow the torque specifications supplied by Truvativ/Howitzer documentation and re-check fastener tightness after the first few rides. If your crankset previously used threadlocker or anti-seize, match the original treatment when reinstalling.

Who This Is For

These crank bolts are ideal for mountain bikers, trail riders, and mechanics who need an OEM replacement or want to return a Howitzer crankset to factory settings. They suit riders repairing crash-damaged hardware, shops building bikes to factory spec, or riders refreshing tired threads and fasteners during a drivetrain overhaul. If you run aggressive trail, enduro, or daily shuttle sessions, replacing worn or corroded crank bolts with genuine Truvativ parts restores reliable retention and avoids play or damage to the crank interface that can arise from incorrect or degraded hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these bolts compatible with all Truvativ cranksets?

These bolts are specified for Truvativ Howitzer crank arms (part #11.6900.002.020, SRAM Model ID FC-SPP-A0). Other Truvativ crank models may use different thread sizes or head types, so verify compatibility with your crank's service manual or part list before purchasing.

What material and finish do these crank bolts use?

These replacement bolts use a hardened steel construction and precision threading for durability and reliable clamping. The capless head is finished to resist corrosion and minimize debris buildup; always inspect and replace if corrosion or thread damage is present.

Can I use threadlocker when installing these bolts?

Yes — if your original installation used threadlocker, apply a medium-strength (blue) threadlocker to the threads per Truvativ's recommendations. If unsure, follow the crankset manual or consult a mechanic. Use a calibrated torque wrench to achieve correct preload.

What torque should I use when tightening these M12 crank bolts?

Always follow the torque spec published by Truvativ/Howitzer for the crankset. If the spec isn't available, tighten carefully using a torque wrench and re-check after initial rides. Avoid over-torquing, which can damage threads or the crank interface.

Is this sold individually or only as a pair?

These Truvativ crank bolts are sold as a bag of two — suitable for replacing both crank-arm fasteners. If you need a single bolt, check with Forest Bikes customer service for availability or order the pair and keep the spare as backup.

Will these bolts reduce crank arm creak or play?

Replacing worn or corroded crank bolts can eliminate play at the crank-arm interface and help stop creaks caused by loose or damaged hardware. Ensure proper installation torque and clean mating surfaces for best results.

Buying Guide

When replacing crank bolts choose the correct thread size (M12 in this case), head type (capless vs. capped), and OEM part number to preserve factory fit and function. OEM bolts like Truvativ part #11.6900.002.020 (SRAM FC-SPP-A0) guarantee the mating geometry matches your Howitzer crankset. Also consider material and treatment: hardened steel is the standard for strength and longevity, while matching threadlocker and using a torque wrench ensures proper preload and avoids damage. Keep a spare pair in your toolbox — small parts like these are cheap insurance against a roadside failure.
