Leary Turbo Crank Spindle?

[FuNMoNsTeR]

I had this spindle arrive this morning. It was advertised as a Turbo Lite Spindle but the seller says they removed it from a double tubed set of DB cranks, which leads me to believe it is for a Leary Turbo or Early Redline crank. Is this for open bearings? as i can see no mounts for sealed units...... Thanks Guys

loose ball defo as for the turbo bit... not sure

I think its the large size. It measures 12mm or 1/2 and inch square on the narrowest end of the taper.

Andy ask bmx-796 about the spindle he has on his turbo. From the looks of his pics he's running a loose ball bottom bracket with his turbo crank set

from memory the early 400 flights (sugino) and DB three pieces all had the same square tapered spindle


All the sugino spindles are pictured here http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=26518.0;topicseen

I always thought DB and Redlines were Sealed BB though !!! cant remember seeing anything other than !!

I had a set of profiles, redlines 400 and 401 and they were always sealed BB ?

I remember looking at N restalls DB and his Bros they were always sealed as well !!

But also yes it does look like a loose ball spindle though !

try a normal maxy crank arm on it
if it fits then its a normal lite one
if no fit its turbo one lol
as i got a sealed new school one on my turbolite cranks

looks like a  400 spindle , but i have never seen a DB one lol

certainly loose ball , and most early redlines 400s and 401s were loose balll

sealed redlines were the hadley or the techmatic BBs which were top bannana i belive

definitely not a harry leary spindle but is definitely a  loose ball spindle I would say.

[pkradman]

looks like a 400 spindle to me .. which in turn is a turbo crank spindle

[bmx-796]

do you want to sell it

The three spindles for the 400 series sealed (Sugino made) cranks are now on Ratty's thread.

I have not heard of 400's in anything other than a sealed version. Could be the DB TL one, I'll see if I can dig out any pics of those.
