urbanroyal Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Honourable Hubbers. .. Is it just me ..but why are there so many of these cranks and calipers for sale...I mean it's new parts. ...so what are peeps replacing them with. ...thanx..
Long Wheel Base Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Are they compact cranks? I bought a new bike 2 years ago and it had 6800 but the little short kids compact cranks(lol yes I know some do like them). LBS couldn't get stock from coolheat so I imported proper longer cranks with more teeth. Never rode the bike at all with the kids stuff on and sold them as never used off new bike. Sold them for same price i paid from chain reaction which was less than LBS could get it from coolheat.

Skinnyone Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 Stolen bikes perhaps? strip them and sell the parts..."who cares where they came from - I'm getting a bargain!!!" is the general attitude on the hub.

Long Wheel Base Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 But the new ones you only need to replace the rings, the cranks are the same now.My giant TCR(2014) came with 172.5 mm cranks. I put 175mm on. As well as the bigger rings. Even if I wanted to keep the shorter cranks, at that stage coolheat never had stock of any 6800 stuff.
