How long is your ratchet Michael ?The longer the better, and the longer it is, the more efficient your input is . Leverage brother, leverage ! I use a 16 Craftsman torque wrench these days, and boy I wish I had one these back in the day ! It was always difficult to get enough torque

why pay that for the XD350 when you can get the XD600 for $1 more? http://www.ebikestop.com/sugino_xd600_78_speed_175mm_263646t_74110mm_crankset_bottom_bracket_not_included-CR1031.php ...unless you really want a steel middle ring, in which case carry on. On Wed, Jun 18, 2014 at 11:14 AM, Garth

Hi Michael, The first time it came off did the damage that allowed the second time it came off to happen more easily. The steel spindle rounded out the squarish aluminum hole in the crank. There are other nice cranks out there, but the Sugino XD is the most consistent, reliable crank I've ever

That was my suspicion too, but the only alternative factor was that I stopped riding as soon as I sensed some looseness. I knocked on doors until I found an 8 mm allen wrench. I'm going to give it one more pop before writing it off. This bike has SS couplers, so the left crank gets removed

If you do that, Grant, you'll definitely have a customer ..but I don't want to start a round of speculation on this. Just an admirer of products you design..Ryan in Winnipeg On Wednesday, June 18, 2014 12:41:49 PM UTC-5, grant wrote: Hi Michael, The first time it came off did the damage
