I'd like to buy a left-side crank with spider for a laundry-machine-bike project I'm doing. Condition is not important as long as it's usable, likewise length and BCD are not important either. Anyone?

Genuine question, why not use a normal DS crank? If it’s for a pedal powered washing machine, my spideysenses say a pedal unthreading itself once every two years isn’t exactly going to be hazardous. Or is it? Sorry if I missed something.

SoWhat
Future-proofing my arsenal in case any of the following happen:
1. Do laundry while cycling around with elaborate chain/pulley/trailer Heath Robinson
2. Two-sided drivetrain for shiz-n-gigguls
3. Left-side drivetrain for same reason
4. Coffee-grinder/smoothie-maker/salad-spinner/whatever mounted on pannier rack to complete rotary task while cycling around
5. Someone is offering gold bullion for emergency tandem repair
6. 2 Chainz tribute chopper bike special build

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
