The name Zayante comes from a famous redwood-covered road climb here in Santa Cruz and so they felt the name was fitting. These road bike cranks install with their M30 family of BBs: BSA, BB86, 386EVO, BB30, PF30, T47, BBRight or older Specialized OSBB road frames. LevaTime II is the new generation of shifting tech. Updated to a new stiffer LT2 5mm big ring, this allowed their engineers to increase the amount of shift features and the type of shift features they could forge into the ring. Please note: The 50/34 ring sets are currently not compatible with the latest generation SRAM 12 speed chains. It also allowed them to use their new fast-engaging forged shift pins to improve shift speed. Holding it together with even better support is their beefed-up LT2 forged X-Spider. All of this adds up to the fastest and most snappy feeling shift they’ve ever produced. The Zayante Carbon M30 road crank uses our Praxis M30 spindle/BB. M30 bottom bracket versions offered: BSA, BB86/90/92, BB30, PF30, 386EVO, T47, and BBRight. Shimano - Praxis rings shift great with both Di2 and mechanical Shimano 10/11/12sp drivetrains. Highly suggest Shimano, KMC, or Campy chain. SRAM - Praxis rings shift great with the e-Tap and mechanical SRAM 10/11sp drivetrains. Highly suggest Shimano, KMC, or Campy chain. Campy - Praxis rings shift great with the EPS and mechanical Campy 10/11/12sp drivetrains. Highly suggest Shimano, KMC, or Campy chain.

Troubleshooting
Chain skipping or poor shifting
Ensure the chain is compatible with the chainring size and speed. Check chainring alignment and ensure they are securely mounted. Verify the rear derailleur is properly indexed and the limit screws are set correctly. Use a recommended chain (Shimano, KMC, or Campy).
Crank creaking noise
Check bottom bracket bearings for smoothness and contamination. Ensure crank arms are properly torqued to the spindle and that the preload adjuster is set correctly. Inspect pedal threads and interface.
Difficulty installing into bottom bracket
Confirm that you are using a Praxis M30 series bottom bracket compatible with your frame. Ensure the bottom bracket is clean and properly installed. Do not force the crank spindle.
Chainring compatibility issue with SRAM 12-speed
If using the 50/34T ring set, a different chainring combination or a non-SRAM 12-speed chain may be required for compatibility. Consult Praxis Works documentation for specific guidance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Bottom Bracket: Ensure you have a compatible Praxis M30 bottom bracket installed (BSA, BB86/90/92, BB30, PF30, 386EVO, T47, BBRight). The crankset spindle is designed specifically for this system.
Chainring Installation: If chainrings are separate, mount them to the M30 Direct Mount X-Spider following manufacturer torque specifications.
Crank Installation: Install the crank arms onto the spindle, ensuring proper preload adjustment according to Praxis Works instructions.
Chains: Works with 10, 11, and 12-speed chains from Shimano, KMC, and Campagnolo. Note: The 50/34T ring set is *not* compatible with the latest generation SRAM 12-speed chains.
Drivetrains: Compatible with Shimano (Di2, mechanical), SRAM (e-Tap, mechanical), and Campagnolo (EPS, mechanical) drivetrains.
Care:
Clean the crankset regularly with mild soap and water. Use a soft cloth or sponge.
Avoid high-pressure washers, as they can force water into bearings.
Periodically check that all bolts are secure and torqued to specification.
Inspect chainrings for wear and replace as needed to maintain optimal shifting performance.
