Re: [RBW] Re: Ethics Question
That crank is superior and I've also recently developed a new (renewed?) desire for the suntour, but you gotta leave some special parts on the wife's bikes. And anyway, you have it all wrong, this is clearly about you ALSO having some slightly more beautiful vintage cranks.

Re: [RBW] Re: Ethics Question
I can convince you that the Shimano crankset is superior and then convince you that swapping would be an upgrade to your wife’s bike. Then you’ll get the cranks you want and have a convincing story that it’s for her benefit.

Re: [RBW] Re: Ethics Question
I wouldn’t. You think she doesn’t care or wouldn’t notice. But something will be different, or something won’t work right. And then you’ll have to explain why you fiddled with her bike for no good reason. Don’t ask me how I know. Just don’t do it.

Why not just admire that crankset from afar? no harm in that. That's how I feel about my wife Bruce Gordon BLT. Couldn't steal ..I mean borrow it anyway since it's too small.

Look, no arguments, you're obviously a loving, caring spouse. Which is why you're out there on the mean streets, come rain or shine, field testing her XCs for stress risers and fatigue. And on that fateful day when the failure comes, be it the next 100 feet or 100,000 miles, you're the one going down. Because she's worth it.

[RBW] Re: Ethics Question
It comes down to function. Are the cranks the same length? Same Q factor? Does the front derailer on both bikes work with both cranks? If function it is all the same then you have to decide if you want your wonderful wife to ride a bike that could now be less than as pretty as it was. I mean, you are a guy, industrial is good for guys. Be proud of your wife on her beautiful bike.

[RBW] Re: Ethics Question
It depends on the chainrings. If swapping means you are putting larger rings on her bike... then it's probably a bad idea. My guess is the 80s crank has bigger rings...

i swap parts on my gf's bike all the time. she doesnt care as long as i dont make her upright bars drop bars (for example). and i always tell her what i'm doing while i'm doing it because i know she doesn't care (and would probably rather i shut up about bike stuff).

This is most definitely ethical. i swap parts on my wife's bike all the time and never tell her and she's never noticed.
