Short cranks
Jun 8th, 2012, 8:24pm
 
Anyone have any that your willing to part with for testing Kim's Speed with them.  Right now she has 165's on there and with her x-seam they're just a bit too long still...
 
The brand is Truvativ Isis drive.
 
Or does anyone have any crank shorteners?

Utah Trikes carries a set of 155 mm Mtn bike cranks for $75, but you'll need to buy sprockets because they are 4 bolt.  Cat is 5 bolt.
 
More then likely you'll need the bearing kit for bottom bracket too.
 
We bought a 150 mm Divinci set from Hostel Shop, with bearings its about $200.  Cat sprockets fit OK, but you'll also need 5 1/8" spacers for low gear.

Thanks Jay, I found all those same things...big investment that we can try out first...was trying to see if any one had some to try and see if that would help the situation.
