I have managed to bend a right crank on my Turbo Levo. Straighten it with a hummer. But looking to replace it as I'm afraid that the strength of the aluminium is reduced.

Found out that I can't buy the original praxis crank. There is an option for Praxis aluminium crank with the standard offset that is different from the specialised one. I did a request to the local shop that works with Praxis, and they said that Praxis no longer sells specialized aluminium cranks anymore only standard ones.

I found the e*spec plus cranks, but I haven't found any information about the q-factor. Due to there being no information about specific Specialized offsets, I think that E*specs cranks have the same offset as the Praxis standard cranks.

Now I'm a bit confused. I don't want carbon cranks (there is specific specialized praxis). And seems like there is no option other than bigger q-factor aluminium cranks.

In the photo, the standard praxis crank that I ordered from my local shop and sent it back:

Hope sell cranks with the Specialized narrow offset. ( it is the narrow offset you require as opposed to Q factor....that is determined by both the offset and the specific motor spindle).

Thanks. Do all Brose motors (specialized and others) have the same motor spindle length? Just wonder if I see for example cranks e*spec specs 184mm q-factor for Brose motor, does it means that it will be the same 184mm for the Levo?

probably but the dimension marked 10.8 and 21 could vary on other cranks and what is critical is chainstay clearance..........overall Q factor outside of that is personal preference really.
