• Exactly as the title says, just bought a power torque crank and have ultra torque BB cups, so need to replace them...

    Cheers for the help!

  • you are in luck!! I am stripping down my Enigma tomorrow with ENG power torque cups

  • ...just bought a power torque crank...

    Not wishing to crap on S&B's sale but PT is a world of pain: unless your LBS is going to handle it, I'd stick with UT.

  • I'm getting that impression tbh :/ but I've accidently bought a centaur PT crank which I thought was UT... So I'm thinking it would be less hassle to return it etc

    (famous last words)

  • If you have the option to return it, then I would: it's not that PT doesn't work on the bike, but maintenance is a pig.

    PT is cost-concious OE, for LBS serviced bikes and not for the home-mech.

    You can get NOS Veloce/Centaur UT for considerably less than PT.

  • actually UT centaur cranks cost around 80 euros in box, new, whereas for 120 euros you can even buy Fulcrum Torq-R cranks which are also compatible with UT cups..

    see no reason why would anyone want to buy PT :) pls note, those prices are for a certain shop in my country, which unfortunately does not offer intl shipping (though I've been trying to persuade them for shipping to EU..)

  • btw, I've heard some people were able to modify bearing pullers or even home-made "crank pullers" for disassembling PT cranks, and the 14mm allen wrench is not a big issue either.

    so, theoretically, PT can be managed quite well, though it's still more expensive than old stuff UT..

  • Back to UT it is then... cheers fellas!
