I feel like a lot of the companies making splined spindled cranks have been like "splines work just fine" in the past, but why would you need to change the design if it works just fine?

it's progress for the sake of progress.

Why does Eclat's color of black always look good?

I'm still completely obsessed with QOTSA since Reading last year. Such a good band. I always liked em but was never a massive fan til I saw em live.

I didnt enjoy like clockwork that much the first few times but after listening to Fairweather Friends recently I find it to be a lot better than originally thought.

So what is the problem with the spindle?

Actually just google imaged it and the spindle has slits.

It's called bunny hop arms it's the fine muscle knees you don't normally use, tearing. Sometimes pain lasts for a week and the only solution is more bmx.

The Spanish bearing is smaller than the mid bearing does someone really need explaining as to why one is stronger than the other?

Off topic but how short do the cut lines go on the t-1 bars?

They look like a 1/4" to me so 2 inches total if they are 1/4".

T least you'll be able to run everyone's cranks. And buy bearings off the shelf for some of them

Technically speaking you still won't be able to get off the shelf bearings for 22mm mid. They are generally only common now in the bike industry. That was the whole benefit of Spanish BB's, the 37mm outer diameter was available off the shelf in many inner diameter options to suit the numerous spindle diameters of the day (excluding 15/16" as it wasn't around).

How often does one even buy off the shelf though? I have always ordered from a bike shop.

Hating on Dugan is like trying to suck your own cock and failing to do so. Gayer than gay.

what goes up must come down, near the bottom of the tranny.
