divernick Posted December 1, 2013 Share I'll accept any cranks for polishing as long as they're already sanded smooth and accompanied by a case of Gilroys Traditional. Thanks for the compliments guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicoBoshoff Posted December 2, 2013 Share WRT the hanger/tensioner, why don't you use a BB mounted tensioner? Makes it a much cleaner look at the back Would that mean you didn't need the hanger anymore? My SS frame also has no hanger and I'm a bit lazy t go and have one manufactured.

divernick Posted December 3, 2013 Share hi Div....roughly how man hours did you invest in polishing the cranks? The chopping and shaping of the spider took about 2 hours.Sanding everything smooth to a brushed finish with increasing grits of waterpaper took about 2 hours.The polishing itself with a drill attachment and green compound took about 20min per arm. The smoother you sand the arms, the faster the polishing goes. Well worth the effect I think. Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can back up what has been said, spend more time in the sanding and the final polishing goes a lot quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
