Evening chaps,
I've been thinking about whether to go for a 1 piece or 3 piece crank on the 83 loopy ripper I'm building up and can't make up my mind :-\. I like the look of both of them.
Chainring is a + style tuf neck (similar to the old redline ones).
Would really appreciate your opinions please to help decide :daumenhoch:
Many thanks

you need a terry cable crank on a ripper ;D :daumenhoch:
-
One piece :daumenhoch:

Cheers Mick - if only one was for sale ;D

If I knew of one for sale at the right price and with a quality bb I'd have it for one of my Flovals :whistle: :D
-
And both look great on Rippers :4_17_5:
-
Cheers guys
-
Both look good but at the end of the day its down to your personal taste.
I prefer one piece for riders and three piece for carpet queens.

opc

Cheers for your help guys. I intend to ride it so more swayed towards a 1 piece crank.
SBD is powdering it for me and not due back for at least another week so I've got time to change my mind again :D
-
Youre right.. i use also a OPC for a loopy Ripper..
i do like the SR hollow tube opc crank :smitten:
-
Opc :4_17_5:

Good call on the SR crank Patric and they're supposed to really light.
I have shimano sx pedals 9/16 - Does anyone know if I can change the axles to 1/2 inch please? They are on a 3pc at the mo but looks like I'll go with a 1pc for the loopy. Thanks

Yes..there looking solide and are really light. I do like the looks of the SR tube opc :daumenhoch:
I think that it wont be a problem to exchange the axels , only you have to safe the hubcaps :-\
-
Cheers Patric. I'll have a look round old posts to see if an old thread covers how to swap axles.
-
If they're a direct swap for DX I might be up for a swap...
Just bought some DX with 1/2" spindles, not even took them out for a look yet to see condition but may be an option & would keep them Shimano rather than getting the halfords ones...
-
Thanks Griff and a good option - I'd be up for that. :daumenhoch: I don't know if the sx and dx ones are the same - hopefully someone on here would know.
-
I wouldn't bother with any of it & focus your attention on your family.
-
I expect someone will be along in a minute to confirm....
Just to be 100% clear, mine are in decent used condition but I haven't seen what they look like inside
They do seem to be spinning fine though just holding the spindles in my hand and spinning the pedal bodies
Not in any rush just give me a PM whenever you decide
and :LolLolLolLol: at Richard
-
Thanks Griff. I won't be able to check my pedals until next weekend and will drop you a pm once I've looked at them. Cheers.

no probs - just let me know :daumenhoch:
pedals are fairly low on my list of things to sort out so not going to rush out and buy the halfords ones just yet
-
Likewise Griff - Will be in touch soon :daumenhoch:
-
:bump: to see if anyone can confirm if DX & SX spindles are interchangeable?
-
+1 on the OPC :daumenhoch:
-
I have fond memories of Rippers bitd with Sugino Maxi Cross.
-
I'm building one with 401s at the moment but I reckon OPC would look just as nice. I swapped out a 3PC on an 84 Quad in favour of OPC and was very happy that I did...

Funnily enough...... The crank of the quad is destined for the ripper, the quad is getting the flights and the TA is getting the CT.......

You didn't get any CT cranks from me did you Bert? I thought it was 401's, Takagi Tourneys and a SR CRMO-LITE...

No, the CT crank came via other "sources" ;) its very shiny! The Tourneys are staying on the TRM for now and the SR is heading for the dp.....
-
Cheers guys and I'm definitely going with a 1pc. Almost had the sr cromo lite off Rich but it's the wrong tpi :(
Griff - I haven't forgotten - I'll take some pics of the spindles on my sx peds tomorrow and send them over to you. Thanks
-
If they spin ok then it's all good with me
Either way you're welcome to mine as I can't use them
PM me your address mate and I'll send them over once I've had chance to fetch them out & clean them up (might be a while as I am a bit of a lazy fooker :teef:)
