Does anyone know if the Redline Pro-Line cranks fit a regular 8 spline spindle or do you have to use the Redline one?

In other words, can I just bolt them straight onto my bike replacing my existing tubular 3p cranks?

Cheers

Depends what make of spindle it is I suppose Marty, I would have thought that all of the current redline cranks use the same spindle, don`t know if thats any help to you

Cheers Bill, it's for my new school ride which has fairly standard tubular 3 piece cro-moly cranks. I was thinking of getting them chromed like my GT ones but then had a thought about getting some of the chunky Pro-Lines. I know a couple of people swear by these cranks and have them on their rides so wondered if they had them fitted to their existing spindles or if they managed to get a Euro BB for them

American Cycle Express (ACE - http://www.americancycle.com) do a euro bb for Redline Proline cranks as I have contacted them about it in the past.

Email them and they will be able to help.

Yeah I would have thought that its best to buy the Proline cranks as a complete set anyway, just send Joe at ACE an e-mail and ask him for a set with a euro b/b

Personally I wouldn't touch redline Pro-lines or ACE with a barge pole.

Had two sets of them off ACE and both sets were misaligned due to the boss been in the wrong place in the crank arm. OK the first set I can let go sent them back, ACE were OK about it. I asked them to check the next set before they sent them, 2nd set arrive they are the same, misaligned, get back on to ACE they basically call me a F**kwit and stop returning my emails.

All credit to Redline though I got intouch with them direct explained the whole sorry carry on (with pictures) and within 4 days a full new set of cranks was FED EX expressed to my door at no charge (didn't even want the faulty cranks back) and F me they were straight aswell.

So I have a misaligned set of Redlines still in the house ready to take to New York and visit Joe at ACE (he may need surgery to remove them after I hand them back)

Stick with PROFILES
