The ZED track crankset is the rst carbon monobloc track crankset in history. The crank arms and spider
are integrated with the bottom bracket axle to achieve a stiffness that is unequalled on the market today.
Built solely from carbon ber, the crankset is lightweight and extremely stiff. The ZED track version is the
result of many years of research and development, and features many of LOOK’s patented technologies,
including the adjustable crank arm length thanks to the tri-lobe system. This means that one crankset
can offer crank lengths of 165 - 167.5 - 170mm (size 1) or 172.5 - 175 - 177.5mm (size 2), simply by
twisting the locking nut on the pedal by one third of a turn. The adjustment is fast, easy and does not
require any special tools.
This monobloc technology links the crank arms and axle to a solid spider, which supports the chainring.
The seamless continuity between the chainring and the spider improves the aerodynamics of the entire
component.
As the ZED track crankset is made of one single piece, installing it requires sliding the left crank arm
through the frame. The right hand pedal can be xed to the crank before the crankset is tted into the
frame. This is not the case for the left hand pedal, which can only be attached once the ZED crankset is
correctly installed.
- Installing the ZED crankset does not require specic tools, however we recommend you contact your
certied LOOK retailer when installing or removing it.
- Before tting the crankset into the frame, ensure the left bearing is correctly and rmly positioned in the
left hand side of the frame, and that there are no parts missing from the pre-assembled components on
the crankset. - The chainrings do not interfere in any way with the crankset installation procedure. The
crankset can be mounted in the frame with or without the chainrings.
INSTALLING THE ZED CRANKSET IN THE FRAME
CAUTION :
- Dust, clean and grease the crankset bearing seats with the recommended lubricant.
- Never clean your bike with a high pressure cleaner. Pressurized water, even coming from a simple
garden hose and despite the seals, can penetrate into the ZED crankset and cause irreparable damage
to the components and bearings. Gently wash the crankset when it is mounted on the bike, using a soft
cloth, water and neutral detergent.
- Never leave the ZED track crankset inside a car parked in direct sunlight, close to a radiator or any
other source of heat.
