SUGINO CT CRANK FITTING HELP

<< < (2/7) > >>

mamadirt:
Some folks say not to grease the b/b axle tapers - I tend to lightly grease the axle and inside of the crank tapers then wipe it off before fitting.  No problems with CTs in the past but I've used mtb bolted b/bs as opposed to oldschool nutted ones.

oldtired:
whats the clearence like at the chain stay ? i ask because older cranks do look as though they're to far out at the bb, post up a picture

Swivel:
Ok lads ta for the help, I will get the non drive side on and get a piccy up  ;)

Swivel:
Right lads, some pics! As you can see, the distance between the arm and the bottom bracket, and this is after i've put the main axle bolt in and really seriously tightened it, then i've taken the bolt out and taken a photo so you can see that the top of the axle isn't meeting the top part of the non-drive arm, unlike the other side. I bought this crank of Nick from Burnerworld recently and he had it fitted so I know its ok, well I think it is, just scared of overtightening and then fooking this up  :-\ all I wanted to do today is build this damn 85' master!  :tickedoff:

Thanks for your help chaps, Matt ;)

Gashead:
Matt - it never does with these cranks fella !

I have got around three bikes including the GT that I "race" on ! It's just the way they are matey  :daumenhoch:
