Stronglight Impact Crank (compatibility)
Tom Nakashima
50/36), but was wondering if it's compatible with the Campagnolo 10
drivetrain? Also if the taper of the Stronglight Crank will fit the square
taper of a Campagnolo 111 bb?
thanks,

it mounted on a standard Shimano un72 square taper bb. I do not know
about whether or not it is 10 speed compatible.

Thanks, how do you like the crank, the 50/36? All I been riding with is a
Joselas
Shimano 110 bb and yes to 10 speed compatible.

If you're looking for an alternative to 53/39 gearing I would think you
should go 48/34. For me, with a 48/12 and a 12-25 in back I can climb steep
hills all day. The only place I ever need greater than a 48-12 is on very
fast group rides, and even then it's only towards the end of the ride on a
long slight downhill where it becomes hard to keep up such a high cadence.
Qui Si Parla Campagnolo
Yes it is w/o problem.
The taper is shimano-esque, which means it requires a taper that is
larger. So, the crank 'may' go on to far, bottoming before
tightening.But it may be OK-torque it on, check chainline and look to
see how far it is on.

Thanks Peter,
This way my only cash flow will be for the crank, as I will use the existing
BB.

You're worrying about the cash flow on a $10 to $17 bottom bracket?
Nashbar sells square taper bottom brackets ranging from its own brand
for $10 all the way up to $17 for the Shimano UN72. I doubt your much
more expensive new crankset will be harmed by driving it onto a
different taper bottom bracket. But why would you even take the chance
when a pittance wouod get you the correct bottom bracket.

You got your budget, I got mine.
If Peter says my existing BB will work, then I trust him...this is what
makes the RBT site work.
I asked a specific question and Peter answered it.
If you did your homework, the Campagnolo ball bearing bb that I have will
outlast any Nashbar, or Shimano sealed bb, so you will end up in the long
run paying more.
I have a Campagnolo BB ball bearing on one of my bikes that's going on 20
years, and that's not bike that sits. Some of these sealed bb's don't even
last a year.
I also support my LBS. Nothing against Nashbar other than they clutter my
mailbox.

I guess you will need to find a cheap 50t. Should be easy to find at
the upcoming swap meets.

FYI, I was there last year and bought the LAST ONE! They really need
to update that website.
I'm trying out the crank to see whether I like a "compact" crank. So
far, I like the 36t as it helps lower the gears for climbing. I'll
probably look for a 48t big chainring as I spin out in the 46t;
although its good for rollers.

Basterds! Well thanks for the heads-up. You saved me half of April
3rd since I guess I won't shlep up to their swapmeet now.

If you decide you don't like it I'd like to give it a try - thanks
again.

In article <d0ierq$jb5$1...@news.Stanford.EDU>,
_ Do it as percentages or speed at rpm and it will look like more
of a change[1]. Gear inches are not a very intiutive measure.
It's 6.4 mph vs 7 mph at 60rpm, or roughly 10% easier.
Personally, I like either a 50/34 or 52/36, the front shifting
is still good enough and you get a wider range of gears.

square-taper BBs are an absolute bargain. Say what you will about
Shimano, but it's great that they still sell a decent variety of very
good-quality BBs for a standard they consider out of date. Now, if they
would only bring back those marvelous 110/74 Deore cranks . . .

Then there's the freewheel issue...Shimano's new design freewheel has
given new life to the obsolete thread on system. It's dirt cheap and
notably superior to all previous thread-on freewheels.
In addition to the Alpine 11-34, they have just come out with an 11-28
variant on the same wonderful body.
It is surprising that the company that made the cassette Freehub into
the de facto standard is _also_ the only company making really good
traditonal freewheels.

Spend a little more for the Shimano bottom brackets that start with
"UN" and avoid those that start with "LP".

Thanks for the plug but the $69.95 model is actually a
different crank arm:
http://www.yellowjersey.org/cranx.html
And the Tange BB sets with true replaceable sealed bearing
cartridges are less expensive than the non-serviceable
Shimano units.

Can you explain the difference between the Sugino XD and the XD-600?
Looks very similar? Thank!

Sugino says the XD600/2 designation is a different material
. Those arms are also better finished and clear anodized.
Same outer rings, same inner rings, middle is AL ramped on
the XD600/2, satin chromed steel for XD.
(That isn't clearly better either way. High mileage cyclists
seek steel middle rings usually in spite of a few grams)
And what was wrong with model names? Sugino AeroTour, Idol,
Maxy, Guines were all a bit loopy but much better than
XD600/2 IMHO.

Are these ISO taper, JIS taper, or both?
Andrew Karre
on the same BB (somebody will surely correct me if I'm wrong, here). My
only complaint about my Suginos is that I needed to find a 103 mm BB to
get a satisfactory chainline and Q.

Actually, "Maxy" is a great model name since "Mighty" is the high end,
"Maxy" implies big but not ultimate. If they ever had a low end it
might be called "Sugino Mini".
I have always wondered the same things about Nissan Cars. We have the
"Maxima", the "Altima", so why isn't the small one called "The Nissan
Minima. The affordable generic car!"
