How tight should Crank Arms be on Shaft?
Jon The Bassist:
Not all 3-piece cranks used a square-taper spindle but a lot did, ie aluminium arms from SR. Sugino etc, as well as a few cro-mo ones ie Redline/Sugino 400s. Some do take a bit of work to get on. Are the surfaces clean? If it's a 3-piece cro-mo crank you might need a tiny bit of copperslip grease.
58 delray:
there are different size tapers from different manufacturers, it sounds like yours may not be compatable.
what make arms and bb spindle are you using?

The original BB and spindle is still here, I just bought you a new one to make sure it was all nice and shiny when I flogged it to you - should have just cleaned the original one :-\
Serves me right for trying to give you NOS when bad-ass used would have been fine :yahoo_silent:
