Thank you for purchasing the SPINPower®
Studio Crank. Power measurement is a key
component of the SPINPower® program that
was developed by the leader of the indoor
cycling world: Spinning®. This crank will measure a
rider’s eort and is designed to be compatible with
Bluetooth and ANT+ devices to provide a rider with
real (and not estimated) power measurement. The
crank is also compatible with many popular cycling
apps and most leaderboard systems.
This owner’s manual will explain all of the key features
of this crank as well as take you through each step
of installing the crank onto your commercial Spinner®
bike. Be sure to log on to spinning.com for all of the
latest updates and information about SPINPower® and

SpinningPower-Studio-CrankUsers-Manual_2_5_19.indd 7 2/5/19 5:38 PM

PAIRING THE CRANK
Your crank is designed to pair with a wide variety
of devices that receive signals in either ANT+ or
Bluetooth formats. The crank is equipped with a
motion sensor that will turn it on while the crank is
rotating making an on/o switch unnecessary. Once
the crank is rotated it will take a few seconds for the
signal to activate your display device.
If you are pairing this for the first time to the Studio
SPINPower® computer, we suggest you pair the
crank before installing it on your Spinner® bike.
The instructions for this pairing can be found in the
SPINPower® Studio Computer box and also online at
Spinning.com.
ANT+ ID
Each crank has a unique 5-digit ANT+ identification
code so that many cranks can be used in the same
room at the same time. It can also be used as a
unique identifier when pairing to a display device.
Some display devices will show that number when
initial pairing occurs. For reference, the 5-digit
number is located on the bottom edge of the black
plastic housing as shown. In the photo above, the
ANT+ ID is 64560. Your number will most likely be
dierent from that. Also take note of the serial number
of your crank that has been etched on the back side
of the crank underneath the pedal connection.

SPINPOWER® STUDIO CRANK OWNER’S MANUAL
REMOVING YOUR
EXISTING CRANK
You may need to remove your existing crank before
installing your new SPINPower® crank. To do so, you
need an 8mm allen wrench as well as a heavy duty
crank removal tool. (SPINTech® tool by Spinning®, Park
CWP-7 tool or equivalent – available on Spinning.com).
Keep the crank from rotating during installation.
Before starting, place the crank in an easily
accessible location for both crank and pedal bolts
(crank pointed towards the back works well). Then
turn the resistance knob clockwise until the flywheel
and crank are locked.
Remove the pedal first.
1. Locate the pedal bolt (on the back side of the
crank). Insert the 8mm allen wrench and turn it count-
er-clockwise for removal.
2. Before threading in the crank removal tool (for both
the pedal and crank), unthread the center bolt (on the
tool) so that the tip is pulled back inside the body (as
shown). Your tool may dier, but unscrew that main
bolt until it clears the body as shown.

REMOVING YOUR
EXISTING CRANK (continued)
(Removing the pedal, continued)
3. Once the tool is ready, thread the body of the crank
removal tool into the fine threads of the crank. It is
VERY IMPORTANT that this tool is threaded into the
crank in a straight manner. Do not cross-thread this
tool and make sure to turn the tool into the crank by
hand for the first few threads. Once confirmed that the
tool is in straight, proceed to use a wrench to tighten
the tool so that it is completely threaded into the crank.
4. Once the tool is fully threaded into the crank, use
a wrench to turn the removal bolt clockwise into the
crank. It might take a few turns that might require
heavy force. The center of that tool will “push” the
pedal out.

Now it’s time to remove the crank.
1. Use the 8mm allen wrench to remove the center
crank bolt by turning it counter-clockwise.
REMOVING YOUR
EXISTING CRANK (continued)

2. The process for removing the crank is exactly
like removing the pedal (prevously outlined). Before
threading in the crank removal tool, unthread the
center bolt (on the tool) so that the tip is recessed
(see diagram on page 9). Once set, thread the body
of the crank removal tool into the fine threads of
the crank. It is VERY IMPORTANT that this tool is
threaded into the crank in a straight manner. Do not
cross-thread this tool.
SpinningPower-Studio-CrankUsers-Manual_2_5_19.indd 11 2/5/19 5:38 PM

3. Once started by hand, use a wrench and turn it
clockwise to thread the tool completely into the crank.
4. Once the tool is fully threaded into the crank, use a
wrench to turn the removal bolt clockwise into the crank.
It might take a few turns that might require heavy force.
The center of that tool will engage with the bottom
bracket axle and will allow the tool and crank to ”pull”
away from the bottom bracket axle. Note that it is easiest
to unthread the tool from the crank (with a wrench)
before completely removing the crank.

SPINPOWER® STUDIO CRANK OWNER’S MANUAL
INSTALLING THE SPINPOWER®
STUDIO CRANK
At this point in the process, the “stock” crank has
been removed.
Prepare the bottom bracket axle.
Note that the exposed bottom bracket axle has a keyway
with a “floating” pin installed on the axle. That pin may
have come out with the crank and if so, place it back
in the slot on the bottom bracket axle (as shown).
Install the crank.
1. Locate the notch on the crank hole and line it up
to the pin on the bottom backet. For best results,
add a small amount of lithium grease to the bottom
bracket axle. Push the crank onto the axle in the
aligned position.
2. Once the crank is on, hand-thread the 8mm bolt
clockwise onto the axle. Now use an 8mm torque
wrench to tighten the bolt to 35-40 ft-lbs (47-57 Nm).
Do not overtighten the bolt.

INSTALLING THE SPINPOWER®
STUDIO CRANK (continued)
3. Once the crank has been tighened it is time to
install the pedal. Locate the 8mm pedal bolt and hand
thread it into the pocket on the back of the crank.
Now use an 8mm torque wrench and tigthen the bolt
to 35-40 ft-lbs (47-57 Nm). Do not overtighten the bolt.
CALIBRATING THE
SPINPOWER® CRANK
After installation of the crank it must be calibrated
using the SPINPower® Crank Connect App (available
for Android and Apple iOS) to ensure accurate power
measurement. The app also contains tools to name
the crank, check battery life and install updated
firmware (as needed). Download for your specific
mobile device and follow the on-screen instructions.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your SPINPower® Studio crank is designed for
accuracy and durability in the commmercial
environment. If needed, the crank can be cleaned
with a soft cloth. Use a mild diluted solution of Simple
Green® or equivalent applied to the cloth. Do not
spray any cleaners directly on the crank (or the bike).
Batteries (3- AA) can be easily replaced when needed
and the instructions for replacement are at the begin-
ning of this manual. Always use high quality alkaline
batteries such as Duracel®, Energizer® or equivalent
for optimal performance.
Periodically check the crank, pedal bolts and
calibration as part of your regular maintenance for
your Spinner® bikes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
The power reading on the crank seems to jump around a bit.
The crank is designed to be very accurate in measuring power
output. Depending upon the device that is reading the power
signal, the power number can appear to jump with variable
changes of rider input. Smooth power delivery at a constant
level should yield very small fluctuations of power readings.
It is normal to see larger fluctuations during “non-smooth”
delivery of power (during sprints, standing hills, etc.).
I want to ensure that the power reading is accurate.
The best way to ensure accuracy is to “zero calibrate” the crank
through the SpinPower® Crank Connect App. When calibrating,
make sure to have the cranks in the vertical position with feet out of
the pedals.
If I replace the batteries, will I need to pair the computer again?
No. The computer has a memory function for pairing.
Can I pair the crank with both Bluetooth® and ANT+ devices?
Yes. The crank has “dual mode” functionality.
My crank will not pair with the SPINPower® computer.
Make sure that both the computer and crank havefresh high
grade batteries. Review the pairing steps provided in the
computer manual for pairing.
The watts reading seems too high or low:
Use the SpinPower Crank Connect app calibrate the crank.
The crank removal tool is dicult to thread into the crank.
Make sure that you have a removal tool that is compatible with
the SPINPower® crank. The same tool is used for pedals and it
should thread into both. There may be a need to clean those
fine threads before threading the tool in. Use caution and do not
damage the treads. DO NOT CROSS THREAD THE TOOL INTO
THE CRANK.
The crank removal tool is correctly threaded into the crank
and it is dicult to remove the crank.
Removing the old crank may take some “elbow grease” as they
are pressed on at the factory. Take your time and make sure to
use leverage points to turn the wrench. It is normal for the crank
to be securely fastenend to the bottom bracket.
Can I pair my crank to Zwift® or other apps with power?
Absolutely. As long as your device is capable of reading a
Bluetooth® or ANT+ signal.
Can I pair my crank to a leaderboard system?
Yes. Most leaderboards work with ANT+ signals
through a WASP or other translation device. Consult your
leaderboard instructions for details.
