Thanks for all of the input, but it turns out I've changed my fancy crank overhaul plans some. I decided to get White ENO arms and set these up as a double, and I'll be pairing it with a 113 mm SKF BB that I bought from Compass. Jan Heine said I should be fine with a 113 for that even though they run a little big, and this solution seems a lot simpler than messing with a TA setup. I had never heard of SKF BB's until a couple of days ago but man do they look like some next level engineering!
In case anybody is interested, bikebling.com is selling the ENO arms for $180 and you can add a 10% coupon to that for $162 shipped. I had upgrade with a deal like that! http://www.bikebling.com/White-Industries-ENO-Crank-Arms-p/whiteind-eno-crank-arms.htm On Thursday, October 31, 2013 8:51:05 AM UTC-4, Ron Mc wrote: > > ps - might also call the folks at Boulder Bicycle since they sell and > install both the SKF and Carmina. > > On Thursday, October 31, 2013 7:39:59 AM UTC-5, Ron Mc wrote: >> >> a reply to Mike on the SKF BB.
