This is right, have you got a photo, so we can see what is going on, it could be that you have put the spindle in the wrong way round.

SaMAlex:
I think that 400s have the same spindle, and work in the same way to DB Leary Turbo cranks (the cro-mo ones, not the ally turbo lite ones).

Frosty:
SamAlex,

You're absolutely correct the spindle is the same on the HL Turbo and the 400's, also I think the early Haro cranks too.

It maybe that the spindle should be switched from the side it is on at the moment but if that does not cure the problem then it is shorter cranks! 175 400's are rare though!!

SaMAlex:
Ah yes, its all coming back to me now. I had about 4 or 5, 400 arms (some redline and some sugino stamped) and they were all 180s. I was in my early teens so they were a bit long but they were "flights" so I made do. The thing is, I have no idea where they came from ... or where they went!

Frosty:
Shame because I am looking for an orphan arm (not sure if redline or sugino yet - still awaiting delivery).

The 175's came as stock on the laserlite, but the tests always suggested changing to 180's!
