Yes, along the lines of what Joe said, it's stated as a "heads up" to quell complaining.
I've noticed that there is no universal standard for crank arm spacing. If you measure the thickness of every spider, you will get different results for every crank. Then you have the rings, not all shaped the same, you may assume that all rings are flat, and all rings are not. Sugino OEM PE rings for example are slightly offset at the spider. Then you hqve different width of chains from brand to brand and model number. So when you factor in the infinite variables, there is no precise number standard for spacing, which is no real standard at all, and for us that's a good thing since we can mix and match stuff. Bike parts are not high precision instruments, thankfully ! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
