Hi. I have a tech crankarm/BB/spindle question that could use some expert insight.
Current: Saluki w/ Sugino 50-40-26 triple & Phil BB. It's fine but I definitely notice the "width"/tread/q-factor. My other rides are all singlespeeds, so that's to be expected. The triple is decadent but I'm seriously thinking about moving to a wide-range double. I spend most of my time in the 40 ring, likely in the 43 to 86 inch range. I've done the math and a 46-30 double might suit my riding needs. I'd like to keep my 8 speed 12-32 XT cassette, Campy Record 9-speed chain, and friction shift. It's all working well. So what I'm considering are the TA Pro 5 Vis cranks. Apparently, they're narrower than most cranksets so that's very appealing. Aesthetically, gorgeous. No reason to change the Phil BB, I assume. But what do I need to measure/scrutinize/order now before I make the switch? I understand chainline but some of the BB width and spindle length specs confuse me. Open to opinions. Cheers! -Darren. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
