Chris Elson Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Right got a adamant a2 frame and have 170 middleburn cranks on , and if i have the calipers to far out the cranks will hit, so ive been running used pads so i can have the calipers in more to allow room for the cranks. But ive heard that the try all cranks sweep out more which allows you to run the calipers out more, just wondering if the echo forged 170 cranks are the same as the try-all's or will i have the same problem as the middleburns. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kid creole Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 My echo cranks curve out a bit but not sure if its more the middleburns, have you got a 128mm bottom bracket? if you have there shouldnt really be a problem, you could get a 38mm rear rim to like a ronnie to give you more clearence.

Chris Elson Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 no i think my bottom bracket is a 127. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve@banbury-trials Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 i had a simular problem but it was with tensile urban legends,got some forged echos and i've been fine since.i cant comment on the comparison between burns ,echos or trials ,as i've only used the echo cranks.steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 The other alternative of course is Echo cylinders. I dunno how much shorter they are but you could ask someone to measure for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Quigley Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I had this problem and went to Tryalls. Now it's all good.Tryalls (imo) are nicer than Echos anyway. Get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Elson Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 hmm if its the same ill have to get a longer bb or smaller rim. they do look like they sweep out more though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 i had the exact same prob on my GU when i ran middle burns, and it was even worse with tensiles, the only way you can solve this is get diff cranks... any of the dengs (echo, GU adamant etc) are absolutely fine... but if youve got a square bb then i dont know what to recomend.. soz128 bb wont make a diff also the echo forged cranks wont hit and theyre good and thyre cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So hopefully now i can run full pads without having to worry about the calipers being to far out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
