nb88 Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 (edited) Hey all... just got bought some 2nd hand echo cranks with 18t chainring, bash and VP BB, and ive noticed the chainring wobbles slightly from side to side when i spin the cranks. The bb and cranks are tight. I dont think its a problem though - as i had the same problem on one of my old bikes with 2 sets of cranks - just wondering why this happens? Anyone know? Charz. Noz.

dave85 Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 The thread on the cranks isn't square and concentric with the taper hole, simple as that :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siders77 Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 That's what mine was like! I bought mine from Dan Ko and they were shagged! The freewheel must have moved about half an inch to eash side! No joke :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siders77 Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 Nah, they'll be fine. When I say shagged I mean the threads where the pedals go were stripped. I didn't explain my self properly! :"> Mine lasted quite a while, but they didn't last as long as they should have :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine look fine, havent ridden them yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siders77 Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 (edited) Yeah, the pedals came with them though, so I just left them in. I did ask for a refund but Dan said no 'cause I bought them second hand (Y) :) Edited May 29, 2005 by Siders77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
