Jacoo Posted September 13, 2018 Posted September 13, 2018 Ive also got the xo1 cranks, what happens with the protective rubber on the arms? Did you remove that or does the vinyl go over?
Grease_Monkey Posted September 13, 2018 Author Posted September 13, 2018 Ive also got the xo1 cranks, what happens with the protective rubber on the arms? Did you remove that or does the vinyl go over?I tried to apply the first set over the protective vinyl, but that was a fail - just didn't take the form too nicely. On the second attempt I removed the protective vinyl and it stuck nicely.
Pikey Posted September 13, 2018 Posted September 13, 2018 Ended up going for a white walker (Game of Thrones) eye - suited the Evil quite well. Really happy with how it turned out. But... this crankset (with decals) is actually up for sale if anyone wants it - compatability issues with the frame.why doesn’t the crank work with the frame ?
Grease_Monkey Posted September 13, 2018 Author Posted September 13, 2018 why doesn’t the crank work with the frame ?It is a PF30 crank (from my Spaz Stumpjumper), so even with a bb30 bb on the bike I had to remove the tensioner to get it to fit, and that means there is a slight bit of play in the crank which I cannot get rid of. When I use a 1mm spacer it preloads the bearing too much, and without it there is play. I'm sure there is a solution, but I have had way too many bike issues lately and I just was not keen to try and figure this out - buying another crankset was just easier...
Schnavel Posted September 13, 2018 Posted September 13, 2018 Wavey spring washer would have sorted this out - it takes up a little space and also preloads the bearings correctly.
