Praxis Zayante Carbon Crank Protector

thingiverse

My non drive side crank protector that shipped with the Zayante Carbon cranks started peeling, maybe I futzed with it one too many times trying to get the alignment just right, or maybe I clipped the edge of the tape with my foot during a ride and road grime took it further. Whatever happened Praxis doesn't sell replacement protectors so I had to come up with a way to get a protector for the non drive side crank arm or peel the drive side protector off of the cranks and let time and pleasure take its course. I opted to come up with something that would work with off the shelf tape. This is a template to trace crank protectors using 2" UHMW "helicopter" tape. I trace the paper side of the tape... I like to round the corners after I cut out the template, I thought about adding a radius to the corners but figured it was easier to cut sharp corners and round by hand afterward. Also included is a PDF with a full size outline if you want to trace yourself, (be sure to print 1:1) and a dxf is also included if you want to make your own. Print using whatever settings you want... Drive side pictures show the protector shipped with the crankset and non drive side pictures show the templated piece. https://youtu.be/X2ivOCqZc5Q
