Default Those Nasty Nubs...


I very quickly found out just how Nasty those Nubs on my summits cranks
can get ( they are the same cranks on the '04 KH trials). Does anybody
know what I do to rid myself of this problem? I've heard of other people
cutting them off somehow, or should I just bring them to a machinist?
Why on earth would someone design such a crappy design for cranks?

-Lee

here you can see a Nasty Nub.

Darren Bedford had the aftermarket bolts that would allow you to grind
off part of the nub and still be able to get the cranks tight.

Or you ould get some after market cranks. Haro and several other brands
make cranks that fit the 8 spline pattern of that generation KH hub. It
will cost you a pretty penny though.

It looks like those haro cranks have ankle hitting nubs though.

the Haro cranks have a Q factor so they wont hit your ankles anymore
then a pair of profiles will.

i have been doing research on who makes 8 slpine that will fit so far
redline, Haro, Snafu, Bulldog and a whole host of others will fit. i
went down to my LBS found the friendlyest sales person and handed them
my KH hub and asked what would fit.

aftermarket cranks will cost you a minimum of 100$
