Been doing some work on this pos
Progress halted though because my bb is too short
Does anyone have a mega long Shimano UN54 /55?
The one i tried to use is 118mm

If the ring is 110bcd, maybe just buy some cheap old mtb cranks instead? Probably much easier to find than an rare old long-spindle, and given the rareness of said bb's, maybe comparable in price?

It's not even that long AFAIK, 127mm seems to be the longest Shimano do. I just had to find a 122.5mm UN55 with Italian threading. I had to order it from a seller in Spain.

Hmm to hazard a guess I don’t think that’ll be enough. Maybe as @andyBmore says I need to ditch the cranks for something that gives more clearance.
So.. Does anyone have a generic set of mtb 110bcd cranks for sellz 😅

Or I could just give the chainstay a little tap with a hammer
-
• #121216
The cranks route seems like the better idea.
-
• #121217
Yeah I agree. Was joking about the hammer... sorta

I have a set of cranks (no chainring) that would fit the bill. FCM540 175 Hollowtech 1 (Octalink, not external BB). BB is included (126mm BB-ES25). Reasonably worn but the BB seems ok and they work fine.
I can't fit them as my BB tool won't go over the Octalink spindle.
You can have them for free if you want them. Collection from Wandsworth. Possibly post at cost.
I imagine there will be better offers though.

Thanks v much, would have taken you up on that generous offer but I should be patient and wait in case a 5 arm crank comes along, I have a few suitable chainrings already!
-
• #121220
Been offered these
I’m trying to do some research but will they by default sit further out than road cranks?

will they by default sit further out than road cranks?
Probably not. In those days, the wider chainline of MTB vs. road was generally achieved by use of a longer BB spindle, so the relation of the taper to the ring mounting face is much the same. You should get a wider Q than road cranks, but I'd be surprised if it was enough to solve your problem. You probably need something with Q>170mm

Leeds used to be pretty safe in terms of leaving your bike, as long as you had a d lock you’d be alright. There’s been a big increase in bike and component theft over the past year and with winter coming I thought I would try and wintrify and beaterfy the Argos. It’s been in progress for a while with stem and post being replace with system x, put some spare gators on (protection from the glass strewn streets) and some bluemels I had spare from a previous project instead of the hammered VO guards I had on previously. Finally replaced the c17 with an old selle campionissimo. Hopefully it looks shit enough to fool the thieves.

I've always had a soft spot for this bike, what is the yellow V by the front hub?
...but with a 24" front wheel, and chase mopeds.
