Looking for short cranks
Dear All,
I would like to buy a short (i.e. less that 150mm) hollowtech-compatible 104BCD 4-arm single-ring (~42mm chainline) crank. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks in advance Dimitris |

I don't know about the Hollowtech compatibility- you may not be able to find that specifically- but there is a trend amongst the recumbent folks to 150 mm cranks. A local-to-me guy, Mark Stonich, has a business of shortening cranks and might be a resource to talk to. He's done a *lot* of this. His site mentions cranks from 90-160 mm. http://bikesmithdesign.com Mark is a very smart guy and is practically his own fringe element in cycling. Who else would design manufacture a cotter pin press and a BB cup removal tool for old British three speeds? I don't know of anyone more knowledgeable about short cranks. I've got a few reclining friends who use his services. |

I used a version of these crank shorteners on the tandem when my son was small. https://www.amazon.com/Ride2-Crank-S.../dp/B002N2KJ7W There are all sorts of crank shorteners on the market. -- Jay Beattie. |

In the pre-internet days when I needed some for my kid, I didn't know where to find them. My budget was slim, and I had access to a good machine shop, so I made my own. I've still got them, waiting for the grandkids' use. -- - Frank Krygowski |
