redline proline cranks

[rarman1]

hi all,

i've got some redline proline cranks but they came with euro bb, i've seen on alans they do a sealed us bb kit for 20mm spindle,

does anyone know if this will fit properly ?

thanks,
rob

I think the redline spindles are 19mm 

[Rombloke]

not the prolines bill they are larger than 19mm, the flight II's however are a 19mm.

yeah i tried a 19mm from my profiles but they were too small,

but would this fit them ?

or does anybody have details for where i can get redline bb as i'm having no luck on the net,

cheers,
rob

  Checked and my Prolines fit in a DK Chopstix Euro B/B,which I am sure is 19mm.??

just read up on dk's site and chopstix do have a 19mm spindle, but then so does profile and my profile bb does not fit !!

what size spindle do flights have ?

maybe i need one of those measure thingy's

Both my sets of Flights have different size axles so I'm no help on the measurements however, Aldi do a digital vernier caliper for about £8

I could be wrong here but is the spindle raised after the splines, if so then i would imagine it is a 20mm spindle .

prolines are 20mm deffo.....

i think i'm in the same boat.
my set of early 90's flites have a non sealed BB, the problem i have is the chainwheel spacer has an inside diameter smaller than the spindle diameter. so i'm thinking i may have the 20mm spindle.
what i don't know is do all crank arms have the same size splines so all i need to do is get a nice sealed BB and put my cranks on them?

to be honest i'm tired of pulling the flites off and putting the one piece in just to go for a ride

You'd better get on to Redline and let them know...

Also, the flight cranks with the floating spindle on a sealed bottom bracket some times came with a very thin top hat washer, I think this reduced the internal size of the bearing from imperial to metric ( or the other way around)...  not sure on the dates though

That's what one set of mine has, a very thin top hat style washer

yep me too on my single pinch non full wrap flights,

yeah mine are raised after the splines too,

thanks chaps

if its just bearigs you need

[bof]

Custom riders also do these if the 20 mm is too big, which is nice.

[Rombloke]

im deffo gonna contact redline cos these proline cranks aint 19mm.

cranks and 19mm a/f spanner


19mm spanner


ok the spanner fits over the splines...so i guess they are 19mm.


but where the bearing sits the spanner does not fit over.....so i was right


redline prolines do take a 20mm bearing....

[Dark Diggler]

my twin pinch flghts are the same deal, 19 at the spline then 20 at the bearing point

they will come in handy if the 20mm is a poor fit
