Precision crank preload adjustment for compatible 30mm and SRAM DUB cranksets.
Muc-Off Crank Preload Rings provide a precise way to set bearing preload on compatible thru-spindle crank and bottom bracket systems. Correct adjustment helps remove unwanted side-to-side crank movement without placing unnecessary load on the bottom bracket bearings.
CNC-machined from 7075 aluminium with stainless steel hardware, each ring replaces the compatible factory preload adjuster and provides a durable, easy-to-adjust solution for mountain bike, gravel and road cranksets.

Why Is Crank Preload Important?
Preload removes unwanted lateral movement from the crank and bearing assembly. Too little can leave noticeable play at the crank, while too much can unnecessarily load the bearings and potentially shorten their life.
A properly adjusted preload ring allows the system to be set so there's no unwanted movement while the crank still rotates smoothly.
Our Thoughts
This isn't a performance upgrade you're likely to feel in the same way as changing tyres or wheels. It's a small component that makes setting up and maintaining a compatible crankset easier and gives you a more robust alternative to some standard preload adjusters.
They're particularly useful when replacing a damaged factory adjuster or when you're building a bike and want a preload ring that's easy to work with – and the anodised colours are a nice finishing touch.
Please Note
Compatibility is determined by the crankset and spindle, not simply the bottom bracket fitted to the bike. Check your exact crank model before ordering.
Correct crank installation and bearing preload are important. If you're unsure about compatibility or adjustment, our workshop can help.
