My powertap isn’t here yet, but I did solve my crank problemo:
http://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=505248#505248
Inspired by Jeff Jones’s crank he sells with his bikes…
And then I found a set on craigslist I got for $100 with rings and bash guard.
I quickly removed the guard and got to it:
(as purchased)
(lopped the ears off – dremel)
(then spent some time with the flat mill and bastard files)
(and pretty happy with the results)
(and)
I would like to find a boone ring, but they are hen’s teeth…
And will order a King bb since it can be greased in place (used to love the WTB headsets, bbs and hubs!).
And I might get around to refinishing the whole crank like Jeff does, but for now, I can ride the mtb this weekend! Cannot wait for the powertap to arrive!
