Hi Gang,
I've got a used, dirty, unfiled, rings getting worn but still
plenty of life 175 Sugino Triple gathering dust on my bench. If you
are afraid of losing teeth send me an email. $30 shipped?

Thanks for all the comments. He took the crank for a ride yesterday on
a chunky trail and he said it felt good and solid. He'll keep riding
it and checking it for cracks and loosening... I'll be sure to let you
know if he loses any teeth. In the meantime, I'll look around for a
long-term replacemen
Whenever I have to ride my bike to a place where I am forced to lock
it up, I always walk the bike home, and immediately sell it on eBay.
You never know what somebody could have done to it while it was
parkednot worth the risk.

This is absolutely FUD. Started with Fear -- you could knock your
teeth out; now it's Uncertainty -- unknown manipulation (um, filing
off an 1/8 inch isn't unknown), unknown party, unknown quality of said
manipulation (geez, they faced a chunk of aluminum, not re-eng
I'm going along with those who are saying they'd bolt those cranks on
and ride. Back in the early 90's I had a Cook Bros. crankset that
wouldn't quite clear the big square chainstays on my Mountain Klein. I
took them to work and and had a machinist there take almost 1/4" of
material off the inside
A ridiculous reply? So you are saying that a product that was made a
certain way by the manufacture and then manipulated in an unknown way,
by an unknown party is perfectly safe-- or safe enough? and IF the
filing job was done well (and how would we know this?). And that
aluminum fails with plenty
I have to say this is a ridiculous reply. You offer no reasoning
except FUD.
For crying out loud, the crank is a big chunk of solid aluminum. It's
had a small part of that big chunk removed and you are suggesting it
is a ticking time bomb without any facts to support why. Puh-leeze.
For the origi
+1 on just installing and riding. I think it's highly unlikely that it will
fail catastrophically. If it fails prematurely at the taper it'll creak a
lot before it goes. I'd be peeved at the seller, then I'd get over it and
I'd ride it.

Yeah, stop trying to scare her. It's very unlikely to fail and if it
does it'll probably just make a creaking sound - it's not like a brake
or stem failure, sheesh.

That has been reduced by less than 1/8th inch (not much) Any bottom
bracket axle will go to the depth it would have before filing due to
the taper machined in the crank arm square hole and axle. If you put
the arm on and tighten it up it should be fine. If the actual
engagement surface has been red
I wouldnt ride it-- but that is me. Totally sucks but if you arent
sure, that should decide it for you. What is the cost if it fails?
and worse...if you end up getting hurt people are gonna say "Well,

Better to be safe than toothless.

>From the way it is filed, I also wouldn't be afraid of installing it

affects your chain line, if it does at all. If it looks alright, I
would ride it for a few days, tighten it up a second time, and go with
it. Don't take it touring
FWIW, I agree with Kelly. It isn't clear to me from the picture whether
metal that actually engages the spindle has been removed, it may just be
excess. I know I have at least one XD2 that seems to have a lot of metal
inside there that does nothing and is poorly finished. In any case, I think

Back in the day when I worked in the trucking industry we would often
machine, grind and other wise do what was needed to make the sprockets
for salt spreaders and such align correctly. From the way this piece
was reduced I would use it in a heartbeat. I don't see (but I've been
way wrong before)
3-4mm is quite a bit. It sounds like someone filed it down to fit the
already tight spaces when used with a 107 or 110mm BB. It would b a
risk, but how much ... no one knows. You could use it and check it
every ride for cracks, but your health is not worth what you paid for
the crank.
