Carlperkins Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 well.. i bought a 2011 24" echo trial frame for tartybikes (the one that comes with the echo BB for £305.. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/24_inch_frames/echo_trial_2011_with_bb/c70p11475.html and my old cranks didn't have a big enough offset so i bought some try all cranks.. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/cranks_pair/tryall_expert_isis/c514p11216.html the drive side slots on nicely all the way and i bolt it up.. loverly... the non drive side.. i push it on and it stops, i bang with rubber mallet. it goes no further. i have about a 3mm gap between the crank and the echo spacer thing that comes on the BB. so when its all done up etc. the echo spacer can slide from side to side, and when riding i can see the end of the isis grooves. i can do the non drive side crank up nicely and ride the bike, it just looks ugly, and was wondering if it should go on a little further? anyone else had a similar problem? any advice? know where i can get a spacer or something to cover the gap?

Dan Jones Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 (edited) I had a similar problem. I tightened the cranks after the first few rides (each time it came a bit loose) and now the crank now sits against the spacer. Here is the post I made. http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/topic/163428-fitting-trialtech-cranks-to-echo-bottom-bracket/ Edited April 15, 2011 by Dan Jones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p_ruskin Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 (edited) Mine did exactly the same, eventually it wore the splines in the crank arms down and now they fit fine but come loose every now and then.

Dan Jones Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Have a look at the thread I made because I had the same problem but with a 2011 Echo Pure and trialtech cranks. http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/topic/163428-fitting-trialtech-cranks-to-echo-bottom-bracket/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlperkins Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Have a look at the thread I made because I had the same problem but with a 2011 Echo Pure and trialtech cranks. http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/topic/163428-fitting-trialtech-cranks-to-echo-bottom-bracket/ yeah looked at the thread, but one guy says its not meant to go on all the way, meant to have a 3-5mm gap. and above you said you managed to get it to the spacer. so i assume that as you got it to the spacer that they do go on all the way eventually with wearing in and a little persuasion? because id rather not see the splines to be honest lol, and if theres meant to be a gap i wont go banging it with a mallet. cheers for the speedy replies by the way! carl.

Dan Jones Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Yeah, each time I rode the bike the crank bolts would need tightening. After a few times of tightening them the cranks now sit against the spacers. I didn’t have to torque it something ridiculous though, they just went on nicely.
