Optimistic low-baller

Is it a crime to buy mixed lots on ebay and then sell on the bits one doesn't need?

Price is a tad adventurous (new S75 cranks with chainring are £200 or less on t'bay), but I expect somebody will take them once it's been dropped down to a more realistic level.

Missing your point here, as I hadn't said it was a crime or otherwise.

Everyone can had back to the 'Pinarello Dogma' thread now >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Edscoble, read Sheldon's page, you 'can' but evntually you'll kacker your taper.

I've not taken it out of context, hence why I quoted the whole paragraph.

Shelton does it to his own bikes, but not his customers... I wonder why?

The normal commuter might not remove their cranks every week, however a bike geek might continually change components and swap cranks... As we do.

This means your cranks will probably not fit
An ISO BB anymore, as the taper of the crank has probably widened by the larger JIS spindle.

I have no grudge Plexarice. No need to send PM's either.

From your link to Sheldon Brown:

'Taper matching was fairly important back in the day of loose-ball cup-and-cone bottom brackets, because these required regular maintenance/overhauls, and this required removal of the cranks. Every time you remove and re-install a square taper crank, the hole in the crank is liable to get very slightly larger.'

Hello mate,

I won't bother replying to your PM. I'll just reply here.

I know what I'm talking about, as a mechanic.

JIS is a different shape / wider taper, so it therefore damages the taper of an ISO crank when used together. If you're happy to bodge your bike, fair enough. If I was spending over £100 on cranks I'd invest in te correct BB to optimise their lifespan.

All threads and tapers and chainring teeth are in very good condition

Ps. The bb is totally the wrong taper for the cranks...

BB = JIS / Cranks = ISO

Was a nice deal eh...

^ Er... why?

I thought it wasn't a bike for looking at, hehe!

Fair enough, hope you're enjoying it! It 'looks' quick.

I went the other way; spending all my funds on a light chain-set and gruppo, with heavy(ish) training wheels.

Out of interest, how come you bought carbon wheels?

Do you race or time trial often?

Interesting choice, if only for training.

Position would be the same with -6° and one of my STS bearing covers.

Exactemant

I'm assuming the cables are as they are, because the stem length/ bar position is still being dialled in?

I agree with Alfie about the cranks.

-17 degrees stem is negating that sportive rider, conical spacer. hehe

Vince, I haven't met you, but damn, you seem annoying.

Nice bike Ozzy Gibbons, good luck with the sale.

Looks more like a Campagnolo Centaur Mountain Bike Hub, QR

Definitely Sherif Star:

Definitely not a Sheriff Star. This is definitely a sheriff star...

Neat washing up liquid on a brand new washing up sponge usually gets rid of that!

Vince, you have some aggressive trading tactics it seems.

It isn't a Fort.
