How do you replace the cranks?

To replace the cranks on your Flexispot Desk Bike V9, follow these steps:

1. Remove the Pedals:
   • First, remove the pedals from the existing cranks. Use a pedal wrench or an adjustable wrench.
   • Turn the left pedal counterclockwise and the right pedal clockwise to unscrew them.
2. Inspect the Crank Bolts:
   • Locate the crank bolts that secure the cranks to the bottom bracket spindle.
   • These bolts are typically on the inside of the crank arms, near the bike frame.
3. Use a Crank Puller Tool:
   • Obtain a crank puller tool (available at most bike shops or online).
   • Insert the tool into the crank arm and tighten it securely.
   • Turn the tool’s handle clockwise to pull the crank arm away from the bottom bracket spindle.
4. Remove the Crank Arm:
   • Once the crank arm is loose, remove it completely.
   • Repeat the process for the other crank arm.
5. Install the New Cranks:
   • Attach the replacement cranks to the bottom bracket spindle.
   • Ensure they align properly with the pedal threads.
   • Tighten the crank bolts securely using a wrench.
6. Reattach the Pedals:
   • Screw the pedals back onto the new cranks.
   • Remember that the left pedal tightens counterclockwise, and the right pedal tightens clockwise.
7. Test the Cranks:
   • Spin the cranks by hand to ensure they rotate smoothly.
   • Check for any wobbling or unusual movement.

Remember to follow the manufacturer’s instructions specific to your V9B model. If you encounter any difficulties, consider seeking professional assistance or referring to the installation manual provided by Flexispot.
