Title: JDB Hutch Crank spindle length?
Post by: dancetothedrummersbeat on September 17, 2013, 09:36 PM

Hi all. Am thinking of trying to get hold of a set of the new JDB repro Hutch Aerospeed cranks. I've seen a few spindle/axle sizes listed as options.  I'm a complete novice when it comes to 3 piece cranks & spindle lengths.

Any idea which is the best spindle option to select?

5 & 5/8"
6"
or 6 7/8"

They will be fitted to an 84 Hutch Pro Racer. Pedals will be Hutch beartraps. I've emailed Hutch.com/JDB, but have had no reply. He obviously doesn't want my business then!

 Thanks. Hope someone can help  :)

He's not got the best reputation for being quick to respond to customers.

Hopefully someone on here will know but if not the BMXmuseum is the place ask the question, the thread will more than likely descend into full on JDB hating but someone might actually help you out in the melee.

I emailed GT when I was putting together my Pro Series. I'm still awaiting a reply. I guess if I said I was wanting to buy 2000 frame sets off them, I would have received a reply almost immediately  :D
