redline proline cranks
gt0733:
i think i'm in the same boat.
my set of early 90's flites have a non sealed BB, the problem i have is the chainwheel spacer has an inside diameter smaller than the spindle diameter. so i'm thinking i may have the 20mm spindle.
what i don't know is do all crank arms have the same size splines so all i need to do is get a nice sealed BB and put my cranks on them?
to be honest i'm tired of pulling the flites off and putting the one piece in just to go for a ride :-[

You'd better get on to Redline and let them know...

:D :P ;)
Also, the flight cranks with the floating spindle on a sealed bottom bracket some times came with a very thin top hat washer, I think this reduced the internal size of the bearing from imperial to metric ( or the other way around)... not sure on the dates though ???
