is that taking into account the different wheel size for cruiser not 20 inch wheels ?
im kind of thinking gearing with lkarger 24 wheels is 2.277 ish instead of the 44/16 which is 2.75 ish

may be wrong but thats what my head is telling me as i read this .

I'm a major geek for gearings and suchlike - although I don't like changing mine really.
Yup Greg, cranks look sound, cheers dude; I haven't done anything with them yet though  :daumenhoch:
