And the low tread is why so many experienced cyclists still prefer these cranks. A front derailleur with a flat outer plate, I use various Campy or FSA models, works perfectly. Chain guards are harder, but not impossible.Velo Orangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02835615331417822722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-82950369929589885532010-01-22T09:57:32.107-05:002010-01-22T09:57:32.107-05:00Seconding David_nj's comment in regards to wid...Seconding David_nj's comment in regards to width between the crank and ring.

It's a little iffy shifting onto the granny sometimes -- I think it could use a few more mm in the spindle. <br /><br />Have you ever installed that crank, or others like it? I guess the old Suginos are especially prone to this problem.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00219872477832400734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-62060442275195836612010-01-19T13:00:12.506-05:002010-01-19T13:00:12.506-05:00Sticker please.

I imagine the design of these cranks will take that into consideration.<br /><br />I'd really love to put these cranks onto my faux-french Centurion Pro-Tour. Its the most fake french bike there ever was and these cranks would take it over the top.<br /><br />On an unrelated note, are the Nitto Campee front racks with detachable pannier low-riders ever coming in?Nathan Backoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08681419560100487762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-44316112671295324052010-01-15T22:58:18.966-05:002010-01-15T22:58:18.966-05:00I think it would look EXCELLET with a TA professio...I think it would look EXCELLET with a TA professional crankset-type (VO) black & silver label in the middle.

I appreciate the fact that you manufacture remakes of products that are no longer produced. I think we should support the few french manufactures left, after all most of buy products from you do to our love of french bicycles and parts. Every year there is more european manufactures closing down due to cheap outsourcing, and knock-offs.<br /> CFGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-9121771864912520682010-01-14T00:05:30.206-05:002010-01-14T00:05:30.206-05:00can I get the left crank 3mm longer? for my short ...can I get the left crank 3mm longer? for my short leg? what about matching biopace rings?
