I will - thanks, Ron!

How short do you want to go? I have a gorgeous 160mm Suntour Sprint crank that I don't think I'm ever going to use. 130 BCD double, and I probably can find rings for it, too. Gimme a holler if you think you can use it, the price will be reasonable. Joe Bernard Vallejo, CA.

[RBW] Re: Bike Crank Question
My physio suggested 165. Most of my height is in my torso, but I think 160 would be a bit short for me -- thanks for the offer!

[RBW] Re: Bike Crank Question
Oops, never mind about those arms. Under the specs I see that they are single speed cranks. Sorry about that.

[RBW] Re: Bike Crank Question
Michael, Those cranks can be set up as doubles. I've done it. Takes a 107mm BB. Cecily, years ago I switched all of my 175mm Sugino XD's to 170mm's due to knee pain. I was able to swap arms on this list for all three of my bikes. Give it a shot. Scott -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Bike Crank Question
Cecily: This group is your search engine for all things Rivendellish. To your question, I'm not sure you can get new ones sans rings but lots of people have posted on here to sell crank arms. You could post a WTB with your desired length bolt circle, and see what pops up. dougP On Wednesday, June 3, 2015 at 6:54:45 PM UTC-7, Cecily Walker wrote: This is a really dumb question that probably could've been answered by using a search engine, but I'd rather ask y'all.
