I am planning to replace my current crankset with a Shimano TOURNEY FC-TY501 6/7/8-speed Square Crank 48/38/28.

Would like to know if this compatible with my bike. Currently here's what I know about the specs:

Rear Cog: 32/11 (8 speed)
Rear Derailleur: Shimano Altus Rd- ct95 8 Speed
Front Derailleur: Shimano C050 Top Swing Sis
Crankset: SR Suntour PFF 42/32/22


Thank you for your help.

Hello and :welcome: to the forum.

Both are triple and eight speed so you're good to go. It's a straight swap.
The only thing you'll need to do is move the front derailleur up a little to accommodate the larger 48t chain ring. Needs to be 1-2mm above or the width of a standard flat blade screwdriver. Also check the Hi-Lo adjustment.
You'll need a new longer chain too.

To which I would add that the bottom bracket spindle lengths need to be roughly the same for the new one as the OP has fitted at present.
The Tourney chainset specifies a 122.5mm spindle - can't be sure though. Needs checking.
