I'm not too concerned about it. I'm very careful with installation of all
parts, and I will likely use dust-caps, anyway. I've got some pretty nifty
older ones.

The chrome on the bolts shouldn't flake off. You need to tighten those
bolts quite hard to seat the cranks properly. If the chrome flakes off,
that is a manufacturing defect – probably a little cutting oil residue
coating the surface during the chroming bath – and we'll replace the bolts
under
Be careful installing the RH crank bolts if you are using them, the chrome
looks nice but can be thick (tight in the socket or crank tool), and is not
of particularly high quality - flakes off easily.

Thanks for the great response, I appreciate it. And for the record, someone
did get back to me yesterday, and I placed an order. I went ahead and got
the recommended 110mm spindle, which is what I'd suspected would be correct.
I feel pretty confident in my knowledge, most of the time, and -- as

Works fine for me.

Others already have answered, but to reaffirm from the manufacturer: Both
spindles – 110 and 113 – will work fine. With 135 mm spacing, your
chainline will be 2.5 mm further outward on the rear, so you can use a
longer spindle to move the front outward as well – unless you ride in the
big ring
TBH, you're buying a $400+ crank and are fretting over a $20 bottom
bracket? You got a local shop that stocks UN-55? That'd be worth a go. You
can also use a bb spacer to offset.
I used a 113mm JIS Phil Wood when I had a RH crank, but not on a Sam

Okay thanks for that. I appreciate it. I tend to take the word of the crank
maker, so when Compass says 110, that's what I'm inclined to go with.
Sounds right to me, and I definitely like a low Q, and want the chainline
to be right. The gearing combo I am using is such that -- like you -- I
Yes you can use a 113. It'll be fine. If it were me, I'd probably run a
110 on a Hillborne because I'd want the narrowest q-factor possible, and
because I also like to use the entire cassette with the big ring and only
the lowest gears with the small ring. Either is fine. Use a $20 UN55 for

Okay , why not just tele call compass ? They'd be happy to clarify it for
you.

44/28 rings. Yes, saw the chart, but want to make sure I've got plenty of
room for heel clearance and also front derailleur, so basically just
wondering if it messes anything up by going with a 113 rather than the
recommended 110, or if I should just stick with that recommendation. Main
It depends on your ring choice also !
did you see their pdf file ?
