The axle is a very stiff tube . **Q: Will this be a good fit for my 2015 Raleigh Tokul 3 hard tail** A: It’s kinda overkill for a hard tail. But if you like it go for it **Q: I have a norco optic a3 29", i plan to replace "sr suntour zeron, boost spacing" crankset, will this crankset and bb fit fine?** A: You need to know the diameter of your crank housing. If it’s the same size as bb on the crank then you are good. **Q: Will this fit my 2015 Raleigh Tokul 3 hard tail** A: It fits a threaded BB and has multiple widths. Check specs. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ whats in the box? *by J***N on December 25, 2013* i would like to know if i am buying arms, chain rings, BB, bash guard? this for a 170mm 68BBthanksjuan ### ⭐⭐ Bottom Bracket lasts about 3 months :( *by P***B on May 9, 2016* I've had this crankset/BB setup for about 3 months on my 650b SS. The crank itself is definitely strong and feels good, especially when laying the power down. However, the Bottom Bracket is a different story. One 27 mile race through damp trail and creeks has proven the end of the bearings. The left bearing has seized altogether and the right sounds like it's filled with sand (but it's most likely rust) :( Upon inspection looks like water has gotten behind the delicate plastic bearing covers and into the "sealed" bearings themselves. That's right, these bearings are suppose to be sealed....apparently not well enough. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/175727348-race-face-chester-mountain-bike-crankset](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/175727348-race-face-chester-mountain-bike-crankset) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-06*
