Try new 'QUADROPHENIA' - 1 out of 3 posts make sense... half of the time.

 ;D love you Rob

yeah I've done it - had to strip and polish the crank arms first so its taken a while.

I got all the spacers right in terms of getting the crank arms to clear the brakes but having followed rootski's advice I trimmed the middle spacer as it looked too long but now if I tighten the bolts on the crank arms 'at all' then it locks the cranks... just like he said... so I need to find the bit I cut off, file it down a bit and put it back  :daumenhoch:

any feedback on my use of spacers gratefully accepted  :)

kuwahero:
Ed if you have any of the spacers I gave you left, you can use one of them on the inside to get the bearing spacing spot on.

They've come up well under the White :4_17_5:
