Q-Factor of Sugino cranks?
So, I need a set of square taper 140mm cranks, and I want alloy ones with zero Q. Are there any out there? I saw 'these Suginos' (http://tinyurl.com/2kq2zz), but I can't tell what the Q-factor is from the pic. Anyone else out there have them and can comment? Thanks. -- onelesscar Catching the coker fever. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ onelesscar's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11127 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/63431 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

I've been very happy with the Torker LX Aluminum cranks; they have zero Q. Not sure though if they come exactly 140mm. -- MuniAddict "On Earth it would be...12 noon" (Twilight zone episode, "To serve man.")

I suppose the longer they are, the more chance that they can bend/break under pressure, but I've done fairly big drops with my alum. sugino 165's with no problem. I'm getting ready to order LX 152's and 170's for coker muni at CMW and the San Fran ride in Sept!  -- MuniAddict "On Earth it would be...12 noon" (Twilight zone episode, "To serve man.")

There's a pretty steep [grass covered] hill that's good 'n steep, but not very long, so I practice mulitple laps up/down, sort of like doing swimming pool laps, but I don't get quite as wet lol!  -- MuniAddict "On Earth it would be...12 noon" (Twilight zone episode, "To serve man.")

Q-Factor of Sugino cranks?
Terry, Do those Sugino 170's look like they could be drilled for 145 also? I'm looking for a set for that reason. The ProWheel 170's look close, but I'm going to modify them this week and see. I just don't like all the Q with the longer cranks. Maybe the LX 170's would be able to be drilled 145? Thanks. -- ahollow ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ahollow's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13990 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/63431 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Q-Factor of Sugino cranks?
I like the craftsmanship. They do have a lot of Q. It's a bit tricky trying to measure with them installed. I fumbled with a straight edge and caliper, measuring a q of 10 to 12 mm. -- feel the light ------------------------------------------------------------------------ feel the light's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14551 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/63431 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

I basically discovered that since the UDC hub is soooo wide, cranks with any Q factor at all is overkill and not necessary, at least for me. I'm not sure if there's sufficient room to drill the suginos, but it looks like it would be close. The LX cranks appear too narrow to drill. -- MuniAddict "On Earth it would be...12 noon" (Twilight zone episode, "To serve man.")
