Title: PEREGRINE CRANK HELP!
Post by: Swivel on February 13, 2009, 06:27 PM

Hello all. I need your help pls.

I've got a minty chrome peregrine crank but the cups and bolts are knackered (the anlun ones). Someone must have been a bit rough with the old spanner. I want to replace them with an alternative as getting the right cups nowadays will be impossible. This is for a show pony and won't be ridden by the way so I just need something that'll take the spindle.

Will the spindle of the peregrine crank fit in the redline cups, the sealed bearing ones? If I could get confirmation that they do, I'll buy a set and then I can finish building up my Haro.

Please help as want to get this build done asap.

Matt  :)

Hi mate

I can take the RL spindle of my TA if you want and send it to you, so you can try it. The only thing is i will need it back as i have not got anything to replace it with but at least you can see if it fits. LMK  :daumenhoch:

The Peregrine spindle has different pattern, but might be worth a try

This is my peregrine spindle photographed from above. Any similarities lads with your own spindle/bottom bracket kits? This is the only thing holding back my Gen 1 build. Need a replacement bb cups to fit this peregrine spindle badly!  :-\

i always though you could use one piece bb with peregrine cranks .could be wrong tho and no access to my pairs of cranks to check

Stuntmaster is dead right.

They definitely take a standard one piece cranks bottom bracket.
