Urpedigreechumdog Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 (edited) Hello to you, I have bodged my cranks with a strip of coke can between the bb and crank as the tapers were screwed. The cranks feels pretty solid and doing 180's etc in my conservatory, the cranks hold out well. What i'm trying to ask is, has anyone else done this bodge and how long should i expect it to last?

JTM Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Alot of people have done this. And if done properly, will probably give you a fair ammount of time to save for new cranks. Try and do more than one side of the taper, the more the merrier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsking 55 Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 it shold hold for over 3 months as long as you make sure to keep the cranks tight (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Mine hold about 4 months until I got new cranks and BB. Works fine, just make sure it's TIGHT, otherwise it'll work loose in no time at all (<2 hours). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Drewery Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 i know many people who have had to do that, mainly with mods though. It seemed to last them for a long while :turned: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
