Installing Litepro Hollowtech Crankset & Bottom Bracket on Travelo FS-S Folding Bike(Part 2 of 2)

- Tips and advises:
- good to use a torque wrench with specific torque values for all the bolts and screws tightening, but if you didn’t have one, you can simply tighten by hand, just make sure you do not over tighten and stripped the threads. If you look at my video, I hold my wrench or Allen key very near to the top. This will prevent me from using too much strength during tightening.
- Do not over tightened the fixing bolt. Otherwise your crankset will be compressed too much and become very stiff.
- Tighten the left crank drive screws only after you had tighten the fixing bolt.
- Chainring should be aligned with center rear sprocket.
- Wiggle the crank arms left and right to make sure no free play. Add bottom bracket spacer if necessary.
- Proper Bottom bracket torque value is 34.5~49.1Nm. It is always good to use correct torque value if you have a torque wrench tool!

• Square Tapered Crankse...
Hollowtech crankset is lighter and stiffer than square tapered crankset. This is one of the upgrade that many riders are doing.
For my case, i cut away total of 114g with Hollowtech upgrade.

I just love your accent.
the way you pronounce the words
(bottom bracket) and
(Paper towel) yeah!
"Cool beans"brother.
Definitely cool, like the "cat's meow"and or
"the bee's knees"!
Also that's a nice bike you got there. sweet upgrades.
You got to Love them there after market parts.
Half the fun of cycling is working on the bicycle.
So much fun to see how better it rides after some grease, new ball bearings, drive train maintenance and or other brand new upgrades that make for a faster,smoother,lighter bicycle ride..!
hello dear, i am here watching your video, thanks for sharing with us, have a wonderful day and see you in your next, big like 15
Thank you for watching my friend! Stay safe and see your delicious videos soon!
Looks good✨✨I love the disclaimer part! It's funny😆😆
Hahahaha 😆😆😆
Good stuff. Simple and right there to the point ^_^
Thank you for watching! 😄
power bro! test video coming soon!
Hahaha tested and it is good! It’s a common upgrade so I never make the video 😂
Bro i wonder.. Does hollowtech folding and hollowtech gravel are the same.. I want to use folding crank on my gravel bike..
Hello, you did use spacers?
Good job bro!❤️👍
Hi sir may I know where did you buy your new crank set. It looks cool. I appreciate your help
Hi Mikey, Nice video. I am hoping to fit one to my fixed gear bike and the chainline is critical to me. When fitted (with no spacers) what is the distance between the centre line of the chainwheel teeth and the centre of the frame? I have asked Litepro but cannot get a reply. Also is the manufacturing quality good, so that the chainwheel teeth run true as you rotate the crank? Hope you can help.
Yeah that is also my question I hope litepro advertise the chainline. There's a brand same as litepro 43.5mm chainline stated in the packaging.
Rantai pakai apa gan
The fact that you made the disclaimer BEFORE Taking the bike apart makes me suspicious about the harm to the bike 😛😛
Hahahaha come on!!! I’m very gentle. 😂😆😆
@@MikeyCruise 😛😛
@@Andy1076 😂😂😂
nice
The Litepro Hollow Integrated Crank arm has axle length of 110mm and also 116mm. Can advise which to use for a 8 speed Dahon Vitesse D8 ? Does the 6mm difference matter?
hello. good video. I want to ask you. what about that mark with the crowns. if litepro is a brand of good quality in its components? thank you
This bike was really easy to assemble th-cam.com/users/postUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.
Hello sir may I know where did you buy your beautiful crankset and pedal? Would love to know about it. Thank 😊
Hi Sir! Thanks for watching the video!
The brand of the crankset is Litepro.
The brand of the pedal is Promend.
These can be found online via shopee, lazada, taobao, and AliExpress.
Hi,is all folding bike hollowtech bottom bracket the same dimension?Tks!
Hi bro i have a 7s if I want to have a small upgrade on my foldable bicycle can I change just the crankset with a 53 teeth or should I buy lower teeth ? To have smoother ride
Hi,very informative!Do you conduct hand on lesson?
Looks good
Thanks for watching my friend!
What is the speed of this bike? Can the 1x single chainring conversion to a 8 speed bike? I have the Triban 120RC. Also, is it possible to convert a double chainring 50/34T into a gravel chainring 48/34T? Lastly, your bike mount nice, can do a video about it?
hello bro what is BB brand? thank you then were did you purchase it?
Great tutorial. New sub here
Thanks for your support. Truly appreciated!
Is it compatible with any BMX Race bicycles?
I am experiencing the same issue bro, wondering why having the original square taper BB doesn't have this issue. The distant difference is only 4mm based on the BB capping. Chain drops when I back paddled and the chain doesn't sit properly at the lowest gear. And the chain is bouncing too much, is it the chain is too long? Needs to cut off a little?
Two possibilities. The chain is a link too long. Or the front chainring isn't in line with the rear cassette. And this can be resolved by getting a wider BB or using a spacer.
鑽.讲的很清楚👏👏👏
Hahaha 谢谢
HELLO。myfriend。looks good。Thank You♥️full watched。
Great tutorial! I also installed a Litepro crankset on my Dahon. Could you tell me what the wheel brand is?? They are very amazing.
Hey thanks! The wheelset in my video was a Litepro kFun 406. Cheers!
@@MikeyCruise Thanks!!!
@@quimoh1188 most welcome!
my fixie crankset is kinna broken so i have to buy a new one but when i look at the online shop all the available crankset are litepro,so my question is will the litepro crankset fit on my fixie?
Hi! It depends on your bottom bracket mount. This Litepro crankset is running on BB68 threaded bottom bracket.
This is usually used for most foldable bikes. Not sure about Fixie frame.
Is it ok not to use spacer at the right side? Mine chain coming off if i add spacer.. still, extra 0.3mm from original position.. hmmm
Hi bro! Yes absolutely fine not to put spacer as long there is no free play. If there is free play, you can install the spacer at the left side. Installing spacer at the left side will not affect your chain ring position. If no matter how you tune and adjust, but your chain still drop off, you can install a plastic chain guide near your chain ring. 👍👍
This is also my crankset. My question is can I put a smaller chainring on it so it will be a 2x crank?
Hi! Yes I believe it is possible but I haven’t try it. Haha.
hi, i tried upgrade 48T with square taper BB to Litepro 54T and hallowtech BB, and bought a new chain.. but my new chain keep dropping off the front chainring, is there any specific chain needed for Litepro chainring? or any idea how to troubleshoot & fix ?
Hi! There is no specific chain for Litepro chainring. The chain width size depends on how many speed you are using. Try to align the chain ring to the center of the cassette, use BB spacer/s if needed. Make sure the chain length is not too short too, if you upgraded from 48T to 54T, it is very likely you need to change to longer chain. Ensure your rear derailleur is correctly tuned especially the H & L limit screws. Last resort is to install a plastic chain guide to prevent the chain from dropping to the inner side during cross chaining situation. I’m releasing a video on chain ring upgrade soon. But still in editing phase as lately I’m busy in work haha.

Hi how many spacer do u need on each side? Like is there a rules or all the same?
Hi! There isn’t a rule. As long the chain ring is aligned to the center of the cassette. And there is no free play after tighten the bb. If not, then use the spacer to fix the problems above. :)
nice!!!
Thank you bro!
My crankset fixing bolt is missing. Is that the reason why the crank kept falling off despite tightening?
Hi bro, yes it is highly possible.
The fixing bolt helps to:
- compress the crankset (you can set the preload yourself - tighten too tight your crank will be stiff, tighten too loose your crank may have free play, so u must find the sweet spot there)
- prevent the arm from sliding off the spline.
You can buy from shopee cheap cheap 😊

Thanks for the info. Really appreciated. Ordered from Shopee as per your suggestion.
@@clusterbx most welcome bro
Any suggestion of what BB brand to choose for? My ride is Mint Auric 20"
To be honest most bb is the same. I am using kactus ceramic brand, nothing amazing honestly compare to normal bb. 😄 I believe only those high end pricey type then you can really feel it.
@@MikeyCruise thanks for the information bud! Where can I find you in Singapore? It would awesome if there is a chance to chat with you more I reckon. 😁

Do you think it's possible to install litepro crankset on normal road bike?
It depends on your road bike bottom bracket.
Litepro bb is using threaded bb, and 68mm wide. 😊
@@MikeyCruise ahh i see thanks!
so the purpose is just to reduce weight?
Hi! It’s lighter. And also stiffer I feel.
You didn't use torque wrench to tighten the BB
Hi! Yes I didn’t becuz I don’t have one! It is always good to tighten with correct torque value! I will add that in the description! Thanks!
Hi what brand and size of your pedal
Hi it is Promend PD-M86 pedal.
is that pedal good for normal shoes?
Yes I love that Promend pedal. It grips very well.
Can I use it on a road bike?
Hi, so far I didn’t see anyone using on road bike yet, but I believe it is possible.
How much the crankset
I bought in one of the local shop in Singapore for about 90 sing dollar. Can get it cheaper online though. ☺️
what's the brand of the pedal ?
Looks like a promend pedal!
Yes Hydher is right. 😊
Hi...after I change this hollow crankset... My alignment the chainring was already center wtih the cassette straight on 5 speed... My cassette was 9 speed... But on 8 & 9 speed my chain always drop when paddling... Already pull out all BB spacer on the RH... But still happen... How can I settle this problem... Hope u can help me...
Hi bro! Does the chain drops outside or inside?
Assuming your Rear Derailleur is well tuned and your chain, cassette and chainring is in good condition:
- If the chain drops outside, try put spacer in the right BB. If doing this and it still drops outside, likely your rear D/ chain ring/ cassette / chain has issue.
- If the chain drops inside, and you had already remove all spacer on the right BB, you can try install a plastic chain guide, this guide will prevent chain from falling inside the chain ring. 👍
@@MikeyCruise hi bro... My chain drops on inside... Already remove all spacer, but still drops... And solution I've tried n error is I try to install the chainring inside the crank instead of original on outside... Looks weird but it's settle my problem... Also have to put 2 spacer on RH of BB back because have to align back the chainring with my cassette... I'm done now... And tq for ur opinion... Love my blast with 54T chainring... But feel little heavy when paddling... I think I must to upgrade the cassette 10 speed with 11/36T... OK next project... Lol...
@@adyzanahmad8565 good to hear that bro!
