Title: Redline Cranks spindle
Post by: Gary72 on May 14, 2008, 07:51 PM

Am I the only idiot who has not noticed till today that the spindle is sided and the splines are longer on one side than the other :uglystupid2:
No wonder I had loads of spacers on and 1 crank arm was further away from the chainstay than the other. :crazy2:

Also noticed that 1 crank arm comes out at more of an angle than the other whilst painting them :-[
