Wanted: 144 BDC 5-bolt Cranks

Need to get the fast bike up and running for Dunwich.

"he lives!" ;)

Hey, got some Ofmega fluted cranks, 144bcd. They're road cranks that have had the tabs taken off the back, but looks like a good job! Check the pics....
£30

Oh yeah, and i have a bunch of chainrings if needed...think they're mostly 3/32" though :s

I like the look of those.

Can i have those?

Do they not have a slightly odd taper?

Odd? Taper? How?

Is it a freaky continental one?

Sheldon says:

(Note: Old Ofmega/Avocet spindles were quite a bit skinnier/longer even than ISO. There are no modern bottom brackets that work with old Ofmega/Avocet cranks.)

Thanks phaser, in the end I got these of ebay>

don't they need outboard bearings

2005+ Ultegra had outboard bearings methinks. Why would it be a problem though?

Gave up in the end, will swap out the bb too, buy a new chainring.

Make the bike a fraction lighter.
